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 
“Theft-Deterrent  System” 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

Operation 
The driver’s door will unlock when UNLOCK is 
pressed.  If pressed again within 
25 seconds, all doors 
will unlock. Also, if your  car is equipped with a locking 
fuel filler  door 
it will unlatch  at this time. All doors  will 
lock  when 
LOCK is pressed. 
The 
trunk will  unlock  when the opened trunk symbol  on 
the  key  fob 
is pressed,  but only when the ignition is off. 
Press  any  button to illuminate the interior lamps (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 
exactly the same model  system, (General Motors ofks 
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.
