Seats & Restraint Systems
How To Wear Safety
Belts
Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies.
If a child will be
riding in your Pontiac, see the section
located later
in this part called “Children.’’
Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.
lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s
low to wear it properly.
I. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see
“Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up
straight.

The ignition keys are for the ignition only.
The door keys are for the doors and all
other locks. When
a
new Bonneville is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the keys, and gives them to the first owner.
However, the ignition key may not have a
plug. If the ignition key doesn’t have a
plug, it will have a bar-coded key tag.
Each plug or tag has a code on it that tells
your dealer or a qualified locksmith how
to make extra keys. Keep the plugs or the
tag in a safe place. If you lase your keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made
easily using these plugs or the tag. If your
ignition keys don’t have plugs or the tag,
go to your Pontiac dealer for the correct
key code
if you need a new ignition key.
There are
15 alternative PASS-Key@
blanks, to help discourage theft. Your
dealer can help determine which blank you need.
NOTICE:
Your Pontiac has a number of new
features that can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of trouble
getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even
have to damage your vehicle to get
in.
So be sure you have extra keys.

Door Locks
There are several ways to lock and unlock
your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key or Remote Keyless
Entry, if your vehicle has this option.
If you have the Theft Deterrent System,
you will also unlock and lock all doors
when you unlock
or lock either front door
with your key if the ignition is off.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, slide the locking lever
rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the locking lever
forward.
ProCarManuals.com

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.

Rear Door Security
Locks
Your Pontiac is equipped with rear door
security locks that help prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors
of
your car from the inside. To use one of
these locks:
1. Move the lever all the way up to the
“ENGAGED” position.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your Pontiac has a
number
of theft deterrent features, we
know that nothing we put on
it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the lgnition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do it.
When you park your Pontiac and open the
driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you
to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be
locked, and
so will your ignition and
transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.
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?
0 Put your valuables in the glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
