Theft - Chevrolet SUBURBAN 1993 Owner's Manual

Features & Contmls
You can release the check strap if you need to open either door farther. First
open the door part way, but do not let the end of the strap catch the pin on
the door. Then hold the strap at the white mark and pull the strap away from
the door pin. You can then swing the door open all the way.
To attach the check strap, just close the door and the strap will catch the
pin.
Theft
Vehicle theft is a 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 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 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 have
an automatic transmission, taking your key out also locks your transmission.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: 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 or console, if
you have one.
Lock the console
Lock all doors except the driver's
Then take the key with you.
