How do you turn off the automatic headlights on 2000 grand am GT?

You cannot actually turn off the lights while the car is driving or in any gear but park. If you would want to turn the lights off while you are parked for some reason, put the car in park, turn off the car completely, pull the emergency brake up, then restart the car. This overrides the headlights and they will stay off while the car is running-however, as soon as you release the emergency brake- the headlights turn back on.

What does the indicator light second gear start means . and why does the car start off slow?

Second gear start was a feature on a few GM car models in the mid 90's. When engaged, the car will start off in second gear instead of first. This is why the car is slower while turned on. There is much less torque output starting out in second gear, providing improved traction while driving in icy and snowy conditions. There is a button or switch somewhere that turns it on and off.


What happens when you turn off a vehicle at fast rpm?

Nothing will happen as long as you are in neutral and not in gear. However, it is strongly not advised to attempt this procedure. - Unknown [I did not write this but my opinion is that you will not be able to turn off your car while driving, it'll probably be unable to turn. You can probably damage your engine like that.] :D
