KEY NUMBERS-To

in
the keys. Mark these
key
numbers

provided

slugs
and
destroy
them. You will lose part
of your

do
not do this.

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.
