Why Safety Belfs Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.

10 mph (16 kmlh), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it 3. Take the simplest ‘‘car.’ ’ Suppose

out of
the retractor to set the lock.
6. To tighten the belt, feed it into the
retractor while you push down on the
child restraint. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in
different directions
to be sure it is
secure.
To remove the child restraint, just
unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and let
it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger child
passenger.

,
Leaving young children in a
vehicle with the ignition key
1s dangerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could
lerate power windows or other
ntrols or even make the vehicle
I
move. Don’t leave the keys in a
vehicle with young children. The
ignition keys are for the ignition
only.
The door keys are for the doors and all
other locks. When a new Pontiac is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the keys
and gives them to the first owner.
However, the ignition key may not have
a plug.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your
dealer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you’ll
be able to have new ones made easily
using these plugs. If your ignition keys
don’t have plugs, go to your Pontiac
dealer for the correct key code if you
need a
new ignition key.
There are
15 alternative PASS-Key@
blanks, to help discourage
theft. Your
dealer can help determine which blank
you need.
Your Pontiac
has a number of new
features that can help prevent theft.
But
you can have a lot of trouble
getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys, inside. You may even
have to darnage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have extra keys.

Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be
dangerous.
Passengers-especially children-
can easily open the doors and fall
out. When a door is locked, the
inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through
an unlocked door when you slow
down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You
increase the chance
of being
thrown out
of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren't locked. Wear
safety belts properly, lock your
doors, and you will be far better
off whenever you drive your
vehicle. There
are several ways to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key or Remote Keyless
Entry, if vour vehicle has this option. If
you have the Theft Deterrent System,
you will also unlock and lock all doors
when you unlock
or lock either front
door with your key.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, slide the locking lever
rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the locking
lever forward.
