Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely
to be
seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn as
low as possible
throughout the pregnancy. The
best way to protect the fetus
is to protect the
mother. When
a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,’’
earlier
in this section.
On four-door models, when the shoulder belt is pulled
out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all
the way and start again.
Center Passenger Position
Lap Belt
If your vehicle has a bench seat, someone can sit in the
center position.

all other locks.
When a new Pontiac is delivered, the dealer removes the
plugs from the door keys and gives them to the first
owner.

qualified locksmith how to make extra door keys. Keep
the plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your door keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using these

help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock

Automatic Door Locks
From the inside, slide the lever back to lock the door. To
unlock, slide the lever forward.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock switch to lock or unlock all
doors.
On four-door models, the rear doors do not have power
door lock switches. The lever on each rear door works
only that door’s lock. It won’t lock or unlock
all the
doors. Just close
your doors
and turn on the ignition. All of the
doors will lock when you move your shift lever out of
PARK (P) or NEUTRaL (N). All doors will unlock
automatically when
the ignition is turned off.
If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is running,
have that person use the manual or power lock. When
the door is closed again, it will lock automatically
as long as the shift lever is out
of PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and the ignition is
on. Note that the
door must be opened, then closed, or the door will not
automatically relock.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when you
turn the ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the instrument panel fuse block. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
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.

Matching ab-ansmitter(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 offers
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.
