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.
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 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.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it’s still best to lock it up 
and take your keys. But what if you have to leave 
your ignition key?
D If possible, park in a busy, well
-
lit area.
D Put your valuables in a storage area, like your 
trunk or glove box.
D Be sure to close and lock the storage area.
D Close all windows.
D Press the valet lockout button to ON.
D Lock the glove box.
D Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
D Then take the door key and remote keyless 
entry transmitter with you.
