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.
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?

If possible, park in a busy, well lit area.
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
hatch or glove box.
Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.
Close
all windows.
Lock the glove box.
Lock
all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.

Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mimr’s surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
I /1 CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really
are.
.If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle
on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
To open the glove box, lift up on the lever. Use your
door
key to lock and unlock it. The glove box has a
lamp inside.
Front Console
To use the storage area, push on the tab and pull up on
the console cover. It will open to the right. The console
will have a storage area for cassette tapes or compact
discs
if equipped.
Map Pocket
Each door has a map pocket. There may also be a map
pocket
on the back of the seats.
