Theft
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 lgnition
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 tone
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.
Parking at Night
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 the glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

New Vehicle
“Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Pontiac doesn’t need
an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will
perform better in the long run if you
follow these guidelines:
0 Don’t drive at any one
speed
-- fast or slow -- for
the first
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle
starts.
Avoid making hard stops for
the first 200 miles (322 km)
or so. During this time your
new brake linings aren’t yet
broken in. Hard stops with
new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline
every
time you get new
brake linings.
