does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key’II.
If you accidentally use
a key that has a
damaged
or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the “SECURITY”
light
will flash. But you don’t have to
wait three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Pontiac dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II to
have
a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the
“SECURITY” light comes on and
remains on, you
will be able to restart
your engine
if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key@II system, however, is not working properly and must be serviced by
your Pontiac dealer. Your vehicle is not
protected by the PASS-Key@II system.
If you lose or damage
a PASS-Key@II
ignition key, see your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.
In an emergency, call the Pontiac
Roadside Assistance Program at
1-800-ROADSIDE, or
1-800-762-3743.
Universal Theft
Deterrent
-(OPTION)
If your Pontiac has this option, it has a
theft deterrent alarm system. With this
system, the “SECURITY”
light will flash
as you open the door
(if your ignition is
off).
This light reminds you to arm
the theft
deterrent system when leaving your
vehicle.
To Arm the System:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or Keyless Entry
transmitter. The “SECURITY” light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY”
light should go off after about
30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.
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 Keyless Entry transmitter, the
alarm
will go off. It will also go off if a
door lock or the trunk lock is damaged.
Your vehicle’s lights
will flash and the
horn
will sound for three minutes, then
will go off to save battery power.
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 “after”
the doors are closed.
Always unlock
a door with a ke,y; 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.
How to Test the Alarm:
Roll your window down, then follow the
directions under
“To Arm the System”
earlier. Once the alarm is set, reach
through the window and manually unlock
the door from the inside or
turn on the
ignition. The alarm should sound.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, check to see
if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace
the fuse, see “Fuses
& Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always
arm the theft deterrent system
when
leaving your vehicle.

door, a light will glow around the door

seconds, or when you start your engine.
These lights will also
go on when you
press any button on the optional Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lights
will turn
off after ten minutes to save your
battery.
