It
can be dangerous to get out
of your vehicle if
the
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine
is
running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured.
To
be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
If someone needs to get in or out of the vehicle after
the doors have been automatically locked, place the shift
lever into PARK (P). Unlock all doors by using the
power door lock switch or unlock just the door you want
by using the inside lever. If you have programmed your
automatic door locks (see "Locks and Lighting choices"
in the Index.) to unlock the doors when the shift lever
is shifted into PARK (P), the doors will be automatically
unlocked for you. The doors will be automatically
locked when you move your shift lever out of PARK (P)
with the ignition on.
If you don't want the doors to unlock automatically
when you turn
the
ignition
off, see "Locks
and Lighting
Choices" in
the
Index.
Rear Door Security Locks (4-DoOr
Models)
A
1
Your Pontiac is equipped with rear door security locks that
help prevent passengers from opening the rear doors of
your vehicle from the inside.
To
use one of these locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.
2. On the inside of the rear door will be a lock. Insert
your master key into this lock and rotate it upward.
This will engage the safety lock.
