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.

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
1 CAUTION
It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running.
Your vehicle could move suddenly
if the shift lever is not fully in P
(Park) with the parking brake firmly set. If you have four-wheel drive
with a manual transfer case shift lever and your transfer case\
is in
N
(Neutral), your vehicle will be free to roll, even if your shift lever is in
P (Park). So be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in N
(Neutral). And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it
could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be injured.
I Don’t leave your vehicle with the engine running unless you have to.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle is in
P (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift le\
ver, be sure
that the transfer case is in
a drive gear-not in N (Neutral). After you’ve
moved the shift lever into the
P (Park) position, hold the regular brake pedal
down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from P (Park) without
first pulling it toward you.
If you can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully
locked into
P (Park).
Parking Your b bide (Manual Transmission Models
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual transmissi\
on in R
(Reverse) and firmly apply the parking brake.
If you have four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case shift le\
ver, be sure
your transfer case is in a drive gear. Your vehicle could roll
if it isn’t.
