Remote Trunk Release

Lockout Feature:
The remote trunk release is equipped
with a lockout feature to help prevent
unauthorized entry into the trunk when
the vehicle is unattended. The switch is
located on the inside of the trunk lid,
mounted to the trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on, slide the switch
all the way to the right. To turn the
lockout off, slide the switch all the way
to the left.
When the lockout is on, the mechanical
remote trunk release will not release the
trunk lid. However, the trunk lid can
still be opened with the key.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your Pontiac
has a number of theft-deterrent features,
we know that nothing we put on it can
make it impossible to steal. However,
there are ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition: If you walk away
from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it's an easy target for joy riders or
professional thieves-so don't do it.
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, tahng your
key out also locks your transaxle. And
remember to lock the doors.
