Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Don’t let it get twisted.
Pull
up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If
the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender’’ at the end of
ths section.
Make sure the release button
on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

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 you key.
ProCarManuals.com

From the inside:
To lock the door, slide the locking lever rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the locking lever forward.
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
“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
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 device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Should interference to this system occur, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions
on battery
replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. This product has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
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.

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.

Rear Door Security Locks

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:

2. Close the door.
position.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open a
rear door when the security lock is
on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.

ProCarManuals.com

If you don’t cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won’t be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know
how these security locks work, and
how to cancel the locks.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will
now work normally.
Glove Box
Use the door key to lock and unlock the glove box. To
open, lift the latch release on the left side of the glove
box door.
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 Ignition
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.
