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. Also remember to lock the doors.

2-23 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 key. But what if you have to leave your
key? What if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.

If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Content Theft-Deterrent (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system.
A light located on top of
your instrument panel
(near the center of the
vehicle, next to the
windshield) will flash
slowly to let you know that
the system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without the optional remote keyless
entry transmitter or the key or tries to turn the ignition
on without using the correct key. The horn will sound
and the headlamps and parking lamps will flash anytime
the alarm sounds.

the liftgate may be opened by using one of the
following methods:

press the liftgate release
button, which is located
on the center console
switchbank, or

entry transmitter.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch

door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or the
liftgate is open and the key is removed from the ignition.
The security light will start flashing to let you know the
system is armed.

Entry Transmitter

when you press LOCK on your remote keyless entry
