Theft
Parking
Lots
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. 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.
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
glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Passlock@
Your vehicle
is
equipped with the Passlock
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock is
a
passive theft-deterrent system. The system
is armed once the key is removed from the ignition.
Passlock enables
fuel
if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key.
If
a correct key
is
not used, fuel
is disabled.
During normal operation, the SECURITY light will go
off after the engine is started.
