Flash-To-Pass Feature; Turn And Lane-Change Signals - Pontiac 2004 Grand Prix Owner's Manual

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.
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 3-19 for more information.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash
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 flash 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 5-99 for more information.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
