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 somethina valuable in vour
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove
DOX.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
