Rear Seat Passengers
It‘s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in’the rea
seat
are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted
can be thrown
out
of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder
belts. Here’s how to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across
you
very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely
to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen.
This could cause
serious
or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the
body
are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop
or a crash,
or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.

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 door keys and gives them to the first
owner.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs. Your Pontiac dealer
or Roadside Assistance has the code for your keys.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a
qualified locksmith how to make extra door keys. Keep
the plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your door keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using these
If you need a new ignition key, contact your Pontiac
dealer who can obtain the correct key code, or,

NOTICE:
Your Pontiac has a number of 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 damage
your vehicle to get
in. So be sure you have extra
keys.

Control, if your vehicle has this option.

Automatic Door Locks
From the inside, slide the lever back to lock the door. To
unlock, slide the lever forward.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock switch to lock or unlock all
doors.
On four-door models, the rear doors do not have power
door lock switches. The lever on each rear door works
only that door’s lock. It won’t lock or unlock
all the
doors. Just close
your doors
and turn on the ignition. All of the
doors will lock when you move your shift lever out of
PARK (P) or NEUTRaL (N). All doors will unlock
automatically when
the ignition is turned off.
If someone needs to get out while the vehicle is running,
have that person use the manual or power lock. When
the door is closed again, it will lock automatically
as long as the shift lever is out
of PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and the ignition is
on. Note that the
door must be opened, then closed, or the door will not
automatically relock.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when you
turn the ignition off, you can remove the Lock
Control fuse in the instrument panel fuse block. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
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.

Matching ab-ansmitter(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 offers
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.
