instead of a screw, follow these battery

Illuminated Entry
System (OPTION)
This option comes with the optional
Remote Keyless Entry System.
When you open the driver’s door, by itself
or in combination with any passenger
door or the liftgate, the interior lights will
come on and then gradually dim to off 10
seconds after the last door is closed. (If
the driver’s door has not been opened, the
interior lights will immediately dim to
off.)
When you press a on your remote
transmitter, the lights inside your vehicle
will go on, then gradually dim to off after
40 seconds, unless a door or the liftgate is
opened.
When you turn on the ignition, the
interior lights will immediately dim to off.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your Pontiac has a
number of theft deterrent features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves -- so don’t
do it.
When you park your Pontiac and open the
driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime
reminding you to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be
locked, and so will your ignition and
transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.
