Remote All Door Lock
To lock all doors, press LOCK on the key chain
transmitter (see “Power Door Locks” in the Index
for more details
on power door lock features). If your
vehicle is equipped with the Content Theft-Deterrent system, the
LOCK button may arm the system

more details).
Remote Driver’s Door and All Door Unlock

only the driver’s door will unlock.
If you press
UNLOCK again within five seconds, all the doors will
unlock.
If you would like all doors to unlock the first
time you press UNLOCK, see “Locks and Lighting
Choices” in the Index. If your vehicle
is equipped with
the Content Theft-Deterrent system, the UNLOCK
button on the key chain transmitter will disarm the
system (see “Content Theft-Deterrent” in the Index

Trunk Lock Theft
To unlock the trunk from
the outside, insert the
master key and
turn it. You
can also use the Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter, if
your vehicle has this option.
Remote Trunk Release (If Equipped)
Press the button behind the
glove box
door to unlock
the trunk from inside your
vehicle. Your transaxle shift
lever
must be in PARK (P).
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 leave 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.

have a trunk access panel.

on the back wall of the trunk.
