Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your Geo 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 key inside,
it’s
an easy target for joy riders or
professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your Geo 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.
