• From the outside the Pontiac G8 , turn the key toward the front or rear of the Pontiac G8 to unlock or lock
the door.

Pontiac G8 Exhaust gases may enter the Pontiac G8 if it is driven with the liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with any objects that pass through the seal between the body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate.

If the Pontiac G8 must be driven with the liftgate, or trunk/hatch open:
• Close all of the windows
• Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel
• Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting that brings in only outside air and set the fan speed to the highest setting.

Pontiac G8 Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your Pontiac G8 may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting.

Pontiac G8 Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seats in your Pontiac G8 are equipped with Lap/ Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing in the retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions. But in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the Pontiac G8 or being thrown out.

Buckle up in your Pontiac G8 even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the insid of the Pontiac G8 . Everyone in a Pontiac G8 should be belted at all times.

Keep Driving your Pontiac G8 !
