Theft
Parking at Night
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet 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.
If
you have an automatic transaxle, taking
your key out also locks your transaxle. And remember
to
lock
the
doors.
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 trunk
or
glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
