or glove box.

Universal Theft Deterrent (Option)
If your Pontiac has this option, it has a theft deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the
SECURITY light
will flash as you open the
door (if your ignition is off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft deterrent
system when leaving your vehicle.
Activating the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should
come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after about 30 seconds and the system will then be
armed.
If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts
off while the ignition is on, the security
system has detected a problem with itself. See your
dealer for service.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, the alarm will
go off.
It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lamps will flash and the horn will sound for
three minutes, then will go
off to save battery power.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t activate
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you
use a power door lock switch or
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
Avoid setting
off the alarm by accident.
If you don’t want to activate the theft deterrent system,
the vehicle should be locked
after the doors are closed.
Always unlock
a door with a key, or use the Remote
Keyless Entry System transmitter.
Unbckirrg a door my
other way will set off the alarm.
