Getting to Know Your Grand Am

10

Oil Life Monitor

Your Grand Am is equipped with an Oil

Life Monitor that evaluates how the car

is driven and calculates what percent-

age of oil life remains before it needs to

be changed. When the calculated oil life

remaining reaches a certain level, a

“Change Oil” warning light in the instru-

ment panel alerts you to schedule an oil

change.

Resetting the Oil Life Monitor

Whenever you have your oil changed,

the Oil Life Monitor needs to be reset to

allow further monitoring of this function. 

To reset the monitor:

1. With the engine off, turn the ignition

key to RUN.

2. Fully push and release the accelera-

tor pedal slowly three times within

five seconds. (If the CHANGE

ENGINE OIL light flashes, the system

is resetting.)

3. Turn the key to OFF; then start the

vehicle. The oil life will change to 100

percent.

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Rear Door Security Locks

Grand Am Sedan models include rear

door security locks that help prevent

passengers from opening the rear doors

from the inside. The security lock switch

is located on the inside of the rear door. 

To activate the locking feature:

• Move the switch up.

• Close the door.

• Follow the same procedure for the

other rear door.

To deactivate the locking feature:

• Unlock the door from the inside and

open it from the outside.

• Move the security lock switch down.

• Follow the same procedure for the

other rear door.

The rear doors will now work manually. 

See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

To set the clock to the time of an FM

station broadcasting Radio Data System

(RDS) information:

• Press and hold HR and MIN at the

same time for two seconds until

UPDATED and the clock symbol

appear on the display.

• If the time is not available from the

station, NO UPDATE will appear on

the display instead.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
