It tells you your second gear start switch is on. When on, that switch makes the transmission not use first gear. This is good for icy winter conditions.

What does a second gear start warning light on a 1995 grand prix mean?
It simply means that "Second Gear Start" has been turned on. The switch is by your left knee on the dash, under the headlight knob. This starts your car out in second gear. Best used in snowy weather.
What does the indicator light second gear start means if not driving in snowy conditions?
It means you left the second gear start switch on.You change the position of the switch to change between normal (light is off) and second gear start (light is on). Turn the switch off, and the light will go off.If you didn't know there was a switch, look for it. I have seen it on the lower left side if the dash (sometimes it just says SGS or 2GS), the center console, as a push-on-push-off button on the shift lever, and as a slide switch on the column shift handle.On a few European cars, moving the shift lever into specified gear positions in sequence while the car is stopped turns second gear start on or off.
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 does it mean when grand prix reads second gear start?
There is a switch on the dash or shift console that turns this feature on and off. When it is on, the light on the dash comes on, and the transmission leaves out first gear, starting in second from a dead stop. This is great for icy winter conditions.
If you're in neutral at an intersection is it ok to skip first gear and go straight to second when the light changes?
If you are sitting at a light and you start in second, it won't usually stall your car. However it is not a good idea to always do this because if this is how you always shift, your transmission will not last very long. When you do shift back to first gear, be sure that your car has stopped completely-it's not good to force the car into first gear.
