Features & Controls
Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you can lock or
unlock all the doors of your vehicle from
the driver or front passenger door lock
switch.
The switch on each rear door works only
that door’s lock.
It won’t lock (or unlock)
all
of the doors - that’s a safety feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your
keys, open your door and set the locks from
inside. Then get out and close the door.
If your vehicle has
the theft deterrent
option, see “Universal Theft Deterrent”
later
in this section.

Remote Keyless Entry
(OPTION)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your
trunk from up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the key chain transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System
operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies
with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(I) This devict
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
3peration.
Should interference to this system occur,
try
this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
0 Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking
the signal.
0 See your Pontiac dealer or a qualified
technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operafion
The driver’s door will unlock when
“UNLOCK’ is pressed. If
it is pressed
again
within 25 seconds, all the doors will
unlock. Also, if your car is equipped with
a locking fuel filler door, it will unlatch at
ProCarManuals.com

this time. All doors, including the fuel
filler door,
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 “Illuminated Entry System’’
in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s)
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 any remaining
transmitters
with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the
replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
the remaining transmitters
must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is
coded, the lost transmitter
will not unlock
your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many
different vehicles as
you own, provided
they are equipped with exactlv the same
model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems
on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can have
only two transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your
key chain transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the
transmitter won’t work at the normal
range
in any location. If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it’s probably time
to
change the batteries.
ro Replace Batteries in the Remote
Keyless Entry:
I. Remove the screw from the back
cover.
2. Lift the front cover off, bottom half
first.
3. Remove and replace the two batteries
(2016).
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
i. Check the transmitter operation.

Starting Your Engine
(CONK)
To start your 3.8 Liter engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal,
turn your ignition
key to “Start”.
When the engine starts,
let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for
longer than
15 seconds at a time will
cause your battery
to be drained
much sooner. And the excessive
heat can damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold
your key
in “Start” for about
three to five seconds at a time until
your engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds between each try to help
avoid draining your battery.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or
starts but then stops),
it could be
flooded with
too much gasoline. Try
pushing your accelerator pedal all the
,.a54
way to the floor and holding it there a
you hold the key in “Start” for about
three seconds.
If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the
same thing, but this time keep the
pedal down for five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline from
the engine. After waiting about
15 seconds, repeat the normal startin8
procedure.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work
with the electronics
in your vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or
accessories, you could change the
way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer. If you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have to have your
vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how
to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See
“Towing Your Pontiac”
in the
Index.
I Driving Through Deep
Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through
deep puddles or standing water,
water can come
in through your
engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. If you can’t
avoid deep puddles or standing
water, drive through
them very
slowly.
