Rear Seat Passengers
It‘s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in’the rea
seat
are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted
can be thrown
out
of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
U
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder
belts. Here’s how to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across
you
very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should
wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a
window
so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restrai.nt
a shoulder belt can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they
are
restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the
sa€ety belts properly.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out
a crash.
Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other
people who are.

Theft Parking at Night
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 chime 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. 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.
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
you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
