When you park your Pontiac and open the driver's door,
you'll hear
a
chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic transaxle, taking your
key out also locks your transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park
in
a lot
where someone will
be
watching
your vehicle, it's best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your key? What
if
you
have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Passlock
TM
Your vehicle
is
equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft-deterrent system. The system is
armed once the key is removed from the ignition. Passlock
enables
fuel
if
the
ignition lock cylinder
is
turned
w i t h
a!
valid
key. If a correct key is not used, fuel is disabled.
During normal operation, the THEFT SYSTEM light
will go off after the engine is started. If the engine stalls
and the THEFT SYSTEM light flashes, wait until the
light stops flashing before trying to restart the engine.
Remember to release the key from the START position
as soon as the engine starts. If you are driving and the
THEFT SYSTEM
light comes on, you will be able to
restart the engine if you turn the engine off. However,
your Passlock system is not working properly and must
be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle
is
not protected
by Passlock at this time. You may also want to check the
fuses (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index).
See your Pontiac dealer for service.
If the THEFT SYSTEM light comes on while the engine
is running, a problem has been detected and the system
may
need service. See your dealer for service.
In an emergency,
call the
Pontiac Roadside Assistance
Center at 1-800-ROADSIDE or 1-800-762-3743.
