NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn
it,
be sure
it
is all the way in.
If
it
is,
then
turn
the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool to force
it
could break
the key or the ignition switch.
If
none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
Starting
Your
Engine

Number” in the Index.) Follow
the
proper steps
to
start
the engine.
Automatic transmission
Move your shift lever
to
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
--
that’s
a
safety feature.
To
restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P)
if
your Pontiac
is
moving.
If
you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK
(P)
only when your
vehicle
is
stopped.
