The lever on each rear door works only
that door's lock. It won't lock (or
unlock) all
of the doors-that's a safety
feature.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside, then
get out and close the door.
If your vehicle has the Theft-Deterrent
System option, see
Zieft-Deterrent
System
later in this section.
Remote Keyless Entry (omoiy)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can
lock and unlock your doors or unlock
your trunk from about
15 feet (4.5 m)
away using the key chain transmitter
supplied with your vehicle.
Operation
The driver's door will unlock when
UNLOCK is pressed. If pressed again
within
25 seconds, all doors will
unlock. All doors will lock when
LOCK is pressed.
The trunk will unlock when the opened
trunk symbol is pressed, but only when
the ignition is off.
Press any button to illuminate the
interior lights (see the
Index under
Illuminated Entry System).
Matching Transmitters 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 the remaining
transmitter with
you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
I
vehicle, the remaining transmitter must
also be matched. Once the new
~
transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.

The Twilight Sentinel Does Two
Things: First,

turns your headlights on automatically,
when they’re needed. Avoid covering the
sensor located near the windshield, by
the defroster outlet-otherwise your
headlights will
stay on.
Also, it’s possible that your headlights might go out if you drove from a dark
area into
a bright area, such as a lighted
parking lot. If this happens, turn on
your headlights with the regular
headlight switch.
