This key can be used for the ignition, as well as all door locks and storage compartments. Any new PASS-KeyRIII key must be programmed before it will start your vehicle. See "PASS-KeyRIII" 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: 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 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. Your vehicle has the PASS-KeyRIII 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. 2-5
