CANE HANDLE HAND BRAKE-The hand brake lever, generally
referred to as "Cane Handle," is located on the left hand side of the
steering
column
below the instrument
panel. Pull handle to apply the brake;
release with
a
counterclockwise twist.
Additional braking effort may be obtained
by applying the foot brakes at the same
time the "Cane Handle"

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
operates
the front door and
ignition locks on all models and the rear
door on station wagon and sedan deliv-
ery models. The oval key operates the
glove compartment lock on all models
and the rear deck compartment lock on
passenger car models.
To prevent unauthorized persons from
securing duplications of your keys, the key numbers do not appear
either on the keys or the face of the
locks,
but on small metal slugs
fastened in the
keys.
Mark these key numbers in the space provided
on the inside front cover
of
this manual and your Owner Service
Policy as soon as you take delivery of the
car,
then have
your
dealer
knock out the slugs and destroy them. You will
lose
part of
your
protection if you do
not
do this. If
you ever
require duplicate keys,
they
should
be ordered from your
local
Pontiac dealer, rather than
from the factory. The key numbers for your
car
are
on
record at the
factory, and
in
the
event
you lose your keys, the proper numbers may
be secured by wiring or writing the Owners Service Department at
Pontiac, Michigan, giving the serial number of
your
car.
