theft of interior or exterior vehicle com-
ponents in all situations. Always secure
your vehicle even if parking for a brief
period. Never leave your Intelligent Key(s)
in the vehicle, and always lock it when
unattended. Be aware of your surround-
ings, and park in secure, well-lit areas
whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty shops. Your NISSAN dealer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be
eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.
