Theft
Parking at Night
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle 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 leave 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 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
and transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Park in
a
lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables
out of
sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it's best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have
to
leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in
a
storage area, like your glove box.
0
Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Then take the door key with you.
