it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.

When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door,
you'll hear a tone 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. If you take the key with you, and you have an
automatic transaxle, it will be locked. And remember to
lock the doors.
Parking at Night

vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
