Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in
some cities.
Although
your
vehicle has
a
number
of
theft-deter-rent
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 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,
i1.s
best to lock
it
up and take your keys.
But
what
if
~OLI
have to leave your ignition key? What
if
you have to leave something \duable
in
your vehicle?
