This key can be used
for the ignition, as well
as all door locks and
storage compartments.
When a new vehicle is delivered, it will come with a bar
coded tag attached to the key ring. Keep the bar code
tag that came with the original keys. Give this tag to
your dealer if you need a new key made.
Your vehicle has the PASS
-Key III vehicle theft
system. The key has a transponder in the key head
that matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column.
If a replacement key or any additional key is needed,
you must purchase this key from your dealer. The key
will have PK3 stamped on it.
Any new PASS
-Key III key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See “PASS
-Key III”
in the Index for more information on programming your
new key.
In an emergency, contact Pontiac Roadside Assistance.
See “Roadside Assistance” in the Index for
more information.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of features that can
help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.
