2002 Pontiac Bonneville Owner's Manual - Page 140

Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there's a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly -- and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They're a big help. Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See "Driver Information Center" in the Index. The volume of your vehicle's warning chimes can be adjusted. For more information see "Chime Level Adjustment" in the Index. Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will come on for about eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for about 20 seconds, then flash for about 55 seconds. If the driver's belt is already buckled, the light will come on briefly, but the chime will not sound. 2-77
