Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door.
If your vehicle has the theft deterrent option, see
“Theft-Deterrent System” later in this section.
Remote Keyless Entry (Option)
If your Pontiac has this option, you can lock and unlock your
doors or unlock your
trunk from up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the key chain transmitter supplied with your vehicle. Your
Remote Keyless Entry System operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (I)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Should interference to this system occur, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions
on battery
replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. This product has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
See your Pontiac dealer or a qualified technician for
service.
Changes or modifications
to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.

Operation
The driver’s door will unlock when UNLOCK is
pressed. If pressed again within
25 seconds, all doors
will unlock. Also, if your car is equipped with a locking
fuel filler door
it will unlatch at this time. All doors will
lock when
LOCK is pressed.
The
trunk will unlock when the opened trunk symbol on
the key fob
is pressed, but only when the ignition is off.
Press any button to illuminate the interior lamps (see
“Illuminated Entry System” in the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s) 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 any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter
is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. You
can match
a transmitter to as many different
vehicles as you own, provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system, (General Motors ofks
several different models of these systems on their
vehicles.) Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries
are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location.
If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.

2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START for about three to five seconds at a time until
your engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds between
each try
to help avoid draining your battery.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then
stops), it could be flooded with
too much gasoline.
Try pushing
your accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding it there as you hold
the key in
START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do
the same thing, but
this
time keep the pedal down far five or six seconds.
This clears the extra gasoline €rom the engine. After
waiting about 15 seconds, repeat the nod starting
procedure.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work wkh the
electronics
in your vehicle. If you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could change the way
the fuel injection system operates. Before adding
electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If
you don’t, your engine might not perform
properly.
If you everhave to have your vehicle towed, see
the part of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the lndex.
