2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX fuses

PASS-KeyžIII Operation
Your vehicle is equipped
with PASS-KeyžIII
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
žIII is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This
means you don't have to do
anything special to arm or
disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key
žIII system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's
starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and
fuel will stop ¯owing to the engine. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does not
start and the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM warning message on the Driver's Information
Center (DIC) comes on, the key may have a damaged
transponder. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-99. If the engine still does not start
with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
vehicle does start, the ®rst key may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the PASS-Key
žIII to have a new
key made. In an emergency, contact Pontiac Roadside
Assistance. See
Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-6for more information.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
žIII decoder to ªlearnº
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for
the vehicle. The following procedure is for programming
additional keys only. If all the currently programmed
keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
žIII
to have keys made and programmed to the system.

Flash-To-Pass Feature
This feature allows you to use the high-beam headlamps
to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
Pull and hold the exterior lamps control lever toward
you to use this feature. When you do, the following
will occur:
·If the headlamps are either off, in low-beam
or in Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode,
the high-beam headlamps will turn on. They'll stay
on as long as you hold the lever there. Release
the lever to turn them off.
·If the headlamps are in high-beam mode, they will
switch to low beam. To return to high-beam, push
the lever away from you.
If your vehicle is equipped with Head-Up Display (HUD),
an arrow will appear on the display to indicate that
the high beams are on.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is
complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ¯ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display
(HUD), the turn signals will appear in the HUD area
when making turns or lane changes. See
Head-Up
Display (HUD) on page 3-19for more information.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ¯ash
to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete. The lever returns to its original
position when it is released.
Arrows that ¯ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other driver's won't see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-99for more information.

The HUD will ªrememberº the last display format
selected. When the vehicle is started if the last format
displayed was Format One or Format Three, then
Format One will be displayed.
If the last format was Format Two, then Format Two
will be displayed.
The HUD will automatically dim and brighten to
compensate for outside lighting.
The HUD display can temporarily light up depending on
the angle and position of the sunlight on the display.
This is normal and will change when the angle of
the sunlight on the HUD display changes.
Polarized sunglasses could also make the HUD image
harder to see.
Care of the HUD
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or ®lm that reduces the sharpness or clarity
of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry
it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
If You Can't See the HUD Image When
the Ignition Is On
·Is anything covering the HUD unit?
·Is the HUD dimmer setting bright enough?
·Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height?
·Are you wearing polarized sunglasses?
·Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the
instrument panel fuse block. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-99.
If the HUD Image Is Not Clear
·Is the HUD image too bright?
·Are the windshield and HUD lens clean?
The windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
need a new windshield, be sure to get one designed for
HUD. If you don't, the HUD image may look blurred
and out of focus.

Accessory Power Outlets
The vehicle has two 12-volt
outlets which can be used
to plug in electrical
equipment such as a
cellular telephone, a
compact disc player, etc.
One accessory power outlet is located on the center
console, below the front edge of the storage console.
The other is located inside the console.
Remove the tethered cap to use the outlet.
When not using the outlet, be sure to cover it with
the protective cap.
Notice:When using an accessory power outlet,
maximum electrical load must not exceed amperage
rating. Always turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on
for extended periods will drain your battery.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding some electrical equipment to your
vehicle can damage it or keep other things from
working as they should. This wouldn't be covered
by your warranty. Check with your dealer before
adding electrical equipment, and never use anything
that exceeds the amperage rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
electrical equipment you install.
Notice:Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.

Oil Pressure Light
If you have a problem with
your oil pressure, this light
may stay on after you
start the engine, or it may
come on while you are
driving.
This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine
could be low on oil or could have some other oil
problem. Have it ®xed right away.
The oil light could also come on in two other situations:
·When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a test to show you it's
working. The light will go out when you turn the
ignition to RUN. If it doesn't come on with the ignition
on, you may have a problem with the fuse or bulb.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-99.
·If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for
a moment. This is normal.
{CAUTION:
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
If you do, your engine can become so hot that
it catches ®re. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have
your vehicle serviced.
Notice:Damage to your engine from neglected
oil problems can be costly and is not covered
by your warranty.
