The lever on each rear door works only
that door's lock. It won't lock (or
unlock) all

feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
If your vehicle has the Theft-Deterrent
System option, see
Zieft-Deterrent
System
later in this section.
Remote Keyless Entry (omoiy)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your trunk from about
15 feet (4.5 m)
away using the key chain transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Operation
The driver's door will unlock when
UNLOCK is pressed. If pressed again
within
25 seconds, all doors will
unlock. All doors will lock when
LOCK is pressed.
The trunk will unlock when the opened
trunk symbol is pressed, but only when
the ignition is off.
Press any button to illuminate the
interior lights (see the
Index under
Illuminated Entry System).
Matching Transmitters to Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer.
Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with
you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
I
vehicle, the remaining transmitter must
also be matched. Once the new
~
transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.

PASS-Key /ITM
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-
Key
IFM (Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
IFM is a passive theft-
deterrent system. This means you don’t
have to do anything to arm or disarm the
system. It works when you insert
or
remove the key from the ignition. PASS-
KeyTM uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in
your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key IFM system senses
that someone is using the wrong key, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel
systems. For about
three minutes, the
starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to
the engine.
If someone tries to start your
vehicle again
or uses another key during
this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different
resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a
match.

Theft-Deterrent System (CONI:)
If the SECURITY light comes on for
one minute and then shuts off while the
ignition is on, the security system has
detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without
the key or the Keyless Entry transmitter,
the alarm will go off.
It will also go off
if the trunk lock is damaged or if the
ignition
is turned on. Your vehicle’s
lights will flash and the horn will sound
for three minutes, then will go
off to
save battery power. And your vehicle
will not
start.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system
won’t arm if you lock the doors with a
key or manual door lock.
It arms only if
you use a power door lock switch or
Keyless Entry transmitter.
To Avoid Setting Off the Alarm by
Accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft-
deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked with a key
after the doors are
closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use
the Keyless Entry System transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set
off
the alarm.
To Stop the Alarm:
If you set off the alarm by accident,
unlock any door with your key.
You can
also turn off the alarm by pressing the
UNLOCK button on the Keyless Entry
System transmitter. The
alarm won’t
stop if you try to unlock
a door any
other way.
