Theft
New Vehicle "Break-In''
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Geo 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 Geo 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 transaxle, taking your
key out also locks your transaxle. 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.
NOTICE:
Your modern Geo doesn't need an elaborate
"break-in." But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
Don't drive at any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don't make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren't yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this "breaking-in" guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don't tow a trailer during "break-in." See
"Towing a Trailer'' in the Index for more
information.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
