Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
1. For example, if the bike is going
as fast as it goes.
10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going! 3. Take the simplest “car.” Suppose
it’s just a seat on wheels.

Features & Controls
When a new Pontiac is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the keys,
and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code
on it that tells
your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made
easily using these plugs.
Keys The ignition keys are for the ignition
only.
Leaving young children in a
4 b vehicle with the ignition key
is dangerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly
injured or even killed.
They could operate power windows
or other controls, or even make the
I vehicle move. Don’t leave the keys

Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be
dangerous.
Passengers-especially children-
can easily open the doors and fall
out. When
a door is locked, the
inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through
an unlocked door when
you slow
down or
stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You
increase the chance of being
thrown out
of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren’t locked. Wear
safety belts properly, lock your
doors, and you will be far better off
vhenever you drive your vehicle.
L
There are several ways to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key or Remote Lock
if your vehicle has this option.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, move the lock control
rearward on each door. Move it forward
to unlock.

,'here are times when steering can be
more e-- :tive than braking. For
example, you come over a hill and find
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car
sudderdy pulls out from nowhere, or a
child darts out from between parked
tops right
in front of you. You
these problems by braking-if
op in time. But sometimes
there isn't room. That's the
vasive action-steering
le problem.
.tiac can perform very well in
like these. First apply your
tut, unless you have anti-lock,
;h to lock your wheels. It is
memove as much speed as you
Steering
There are
more effe can from a possible collision.
Then steer
around the problem, to the left
or right
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision. If you
are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o'clock positions,
you can turn it
a full 180 degrees very
quickly without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
You
must then be prepared to steer back to
your original lane and then brake
to a
controlled stop. Depending
on your speed, this can be
rather violent for an unprepared driver.
This
is one of the reasons driving
experts recommend that
you use your
safety belts and keep both hands on the
steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good
reason to
practice defensive driving at all times.
