Trunk
Lid
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO.
It
can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If
you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
’hrn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on any airflow selection except RECIRC.

force outside air into your vehicle.
See “Comfort Controls” in the Index.
If
you have
air
outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
Theft
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.

I
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.
With the ignition
off
and the driver’s door open, 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
and transaxle. 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.
