Pontiac 2002 Firebird - Manual (Page 61)

2-5
This key is for the
ignition only.
This key is for the doors
and all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
bar
- coded plugs from the door keys and gives them
to the first owner.
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. In an emergency,
call Pontiac Roadside Assistance. See ”Roadside
Assistance” in the Index for more information.
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.
