Parking Lots
Theft
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 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.
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.
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?

trunk
or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the

Close all windows.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all doors except the driver's.
Give
the

key
to
the

key with you.
