When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs \
from the keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how
to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able
lo have new, ones made easily using these plugs.

Door Locks
1 A Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
' Passengers-especially children-can easily open the doors and fall
out. When a door is locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you s\
low
down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren't locked. Wear
safety belts properly, lock your doors, and you will be far b\
etter
off
whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle:
~~____

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Theft
Vehicle theft is a 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 walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves-s\
o 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, 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 somethina valuable in vour
vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove DOX.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
