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.

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

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
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 activate the theft deterrent
system when leaving your vehicle.
Activating the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote 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
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, the alarm will
go off.
It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lamps 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 activate
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you
use a power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
Avoid setting
off the alarm by accident.
If you don’t want to activate the theft deterrent system,
the vehicle should be locked
after the doors are closed.
Always unlock
a door with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System transmitter.
Unbckirrg a door my
other way will set off the alarm.

Convenience Net (Option)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it
just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you’re not using it.
Card Holder
The front doors on some vehicles have a card holder for
convenient storage
of business cards or parking lot ticket
stubs. The card holder
has space for up to five regular
business

Boost Gage (Option)
Vehicles equipped with the supercharged engine have
this boost gage that indicates vacuum during light to
moderate throttle and boost under heavier throttle. The
gage displays the air pressure level in psi going into the
engine’s combustion chamber.
The gage is automatically centered at zero psi every
time the engine is started. Actual vacuum or
boost is
displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient
pressure, such
as driving in mountains and changing
weather, will slightly change the zero reading.
