This means you don’t have to do anything different to
arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or
remove the
key from the ignition. PASS-Key% uses a
resistor pellet in the ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems.
For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and

PARK (P): This locks your front wheels. It’s the best
position to use when
you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily. Ensure the shift lever is fully in
PARK (P) range before
starting the engine. Your Pontiac has a brake-transaxle
shift interlock.
You have to fully apply your regular
brakes before you can shift from PARK when the ignition
key is in the
ON position. If you cannot shift out of
PARK (P), ease pressure
on the shift lever -- push t2ze
shift lever all the way into PARK and also release the
shift lever button on floor
shift console models as you
maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever
into the gear you wish. (Press the shift lever button before \
moving the shift lever on floor shift console models.) See
“Shifting Out of PARK (P)” later
in this section.
REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transaxle.
Shift to REVERSE
(R) only after your vehicle is
stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow,
ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see “If
You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow” in the Index.

Electronic Climate Control (Option)
With this system, you can control the ventilation,
heating and
air conditioning in your vehicle, or you can
use the automatic setting. When
you leave your vehicle
the system control setting
is remembered the next time
you start your
car.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION: When the system is set
for
AUTO, sensors will control the air delivery mode.
Air will come from the floor, middle and windshield
outlets. The fan speed will
vary as the system maintains
the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort
zone, start with 75" temperature
setting, allow about
20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the
TEMP button up or down to adjust
the temperature setting
if necessary, If you choose the
temperature
setting of 60°F (1 5 O C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate the fan speed.
If you choose the temperature setting
of 90°F (33"C), the system
will remain at that
maximum heating setting and will
not regulate the fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
Pressing the
AUTO button will display the requested
temperature, fan speed and air delivery mode for
5
seconds, then change to display the outside air
temperature. Be careful not to put anything over the
sensor located in the middle
of the instrument panel near
the windshield, or over the sensor in the
grille above the
radio. These sensors are used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
The exterior temperature display sensor is in front of the
car, near the radiator,
This displayed temperature is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops,
or
while idling, the display shows the previous driving
temperature for best system control.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the
fan until warm air is available.
The length
of delay depeds on outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature, and time since the engine
was last started. Pushing the
fan button will override this
delay and change the fan
to a selected single speed.
If you leave your vehicle, the control setting is
remembered the next time you start your engine.
