Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
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 take the key with you, and you have an automatic
transaxle, it will be locked. 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

your vehicle, it's best to lock it up and take your keys.
