Parking at Night: Park in a lighted
spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where
someone will be watching your vehicle,
it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?

Features & Controls
Remote Trunk Release (CONK)
Lockout Feature:
The remote trunk release is equipped
with a lockout feature to help prevent
unauthorized entry into the trunk when
leaving the vehicle unattended. The
switch is located on the inside of the
trunk lid, mounted to the
trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on, slide the switch
all the way to the right.
To turn the
lockout off, slide the switch all the way
to the left.
When the lockout is on, the mechanical
remote trunk release will not release the
trunk lid. However, the trunk lid can
still be opened with the key.
Glove Box
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box. To open, pull the glove box
handle toward you. Your
modern Pontiac doesn’t need
an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed-
fast or slow-for the first 500
miles (804 km). Don’t make full-
throttle
starts
Avoid making hard st+ for the
first
200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline every
time you get new brake linings

Loading bur Vehicle
Two labels on your vehicle show how
much weight it may properly carry. The
Tire-Loading Information label found on
the rear edge of the driver’s door tells
you the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the
tires on your vehicle. It also gives
you
important information about the number
of people that can be in your vehicle and
the total weight that you can carry. This
weight is called the Vehicle Capacity
Weight and includes the weight of all
occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory- installed options. The other label is the Certification
sticker, also on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It
tells you the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel
and cargo. Never exceed the GVWR for
your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you
should spread it out. Don’t carry more
than
132 lbs. (60 kg) in your trunk.
