Remote Trunk Release Lockout
The trunk release lockout switch in the glove box allows
you to secure items in the trunk. Move the trunk release
switch off, lock the glove box and take the key with you.
Now the trunk release on the driver’s door will not open
the trunk.
Trunk Security Override
The remote keyless entry transmitter will open the trunk
even if the trunk release lockout switch is off.
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.
With the ignition off and the driver’s door open, 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.
