SECUIITY
The ignition key must be clean and dry
before it's inserted in the ignition or the
engine may not start. If the engine does
not start and the "SECURITY" light stays
on when you
try
to start the vehicle, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security light
will remain on during this time. If the
starter still won't work, and the key
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (see "Fuses and Circuit
Breakers" in the Index). If the starter
won't work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be

Faulty. See your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key@II.
[f you accidentally use a key that has a
Jamaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won't work and the security light
will flash. But you don't have to wait
three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Pontiac dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II to
have a new key made.
If you're ever driving and the
"SECURITY'' light comes on and stays
on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key@ I1
system, however, is not working properly
and must be serviced by your Pontiac
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the PASS-Key% system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@ I1
ignition key, see your Pontiac
dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key% to have a new key made. In
an emergency, call the Pontiac Roadside
Assistance Program on
1-800-ROADSIDE or 1-800-762-3743.

"Break-Zn"
NOTICE:
Your modem Pontiac doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in." But it will per-
form better in the long run if you fol-
low these guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88
km/h)
or less for the first 500
miles (804 km).
Don't drive at any one speed
-
fast or slow
-
for the first 500
miles (804 km). Don't make
full-throttle starts.
Avoid malung hard stops for the
first 200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren't yet broken in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
"brealung-in" guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
