2000 Pontiac Firebird Owner's Manual - Page 63

This key is for the ignition only. However, the ignition keys don't have plugs. Instead, they have bar-coded key tags. These tags may be removed by your dealer or even before the vehicle is delivered to your dealer. Each door key plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make extra door keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your door keys, you'll be able to have new ones made using these plugs. If you need a new ignition key, contact your dealer who can obtain the correct key code. Remember to carry the pre-cut emergency key that Pontiac sends after delivery (this service is not available in Canada). In an emergency, call Pontiac Roadside Assistance at 1-800-ROADSIDE or 1-800-762-3743. (In Canada call 1-800-268-6800.) This key is for the doors and all other locks. NOTICE: Your vehicle has a number of new features that can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your keys inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have extra keys. When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the bar-coded plugs from the door keys and gives them to the first owner. 2-3
