PARKING BRAKE-The parking brake
is applied by depressing the parking brake
foot pedal located under the left hand end
ofthedash. The pedal is imprinted
"
PARK.
"
A slight upward pressure on the trigger
handle inscribed
" BRAKE"
located above
the pedal, will release the brake.
KEYS AND KEY NUMBERS- Two sets of keys are furnished with
your
car.
Each set contains a key with an octagonal handle and a key
with an oval
handle.
The octagonal key oper-
ates the front door and ignition locks on all
models and the tail gate on station wagon
models. The oval key operates the glove com-
partment lock on all models and the luggage
compartment lock on passenger car models.
To prevent unauthorized persons from securing duplications of your
keys, mark the key numbers, which appear on small metal slugs
fastened in the keys, in the space provided on page 4 of this manual
and on the Owner's Service Policy as soon as you take delivery of the
car. Then knock out the slugs and destroy them. If you ever require
duplicate keys, they should be ordered from your local Pontiac dealer
rather than from the factory. In the event that you lose your keys and
key numbers, the proper numbers can be secured by wiring or writing
the Owner's Service Department, Pontiac Motor Division, Pontiac,
Michigan, giving the serial number of your car.
DOOR LOCKS-If you wish to lock
the doors from the inside, push down
the small button on the window mould-
ing of each door. Both front doors can
be locked from the outside with a key
in the usual way, but you don't have to
use the key to lock your
car.
Simply
open the door, press the button down and then close the door while
pushing in the outside door handle plunger. When the door is closed,
release the plunger, and the door is locked.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR WHENEVER YOU LEAVE IT UNATTENDED
SAFETY FEATURE-On all four-door sedans the rear door lock Is designed
and set so that when the door locking button Is depressed the inside door
handle is
inoperative.
This is a very important safety feature, especially
when children are riding in the car, as it minimizes the chance of a child
accidentally opening the door and falling from the
car;
Riding with the door lock buttons depressed also minimizes chances
of doors opening in a collision.
