The oval-shaped key
is for the doors and all
other locks.
. :.

When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from the
keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each
plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your
keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using these plugs.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that can help prevent
theft. But you can have a lot
of trouble getting into your vehicle
if you
ever lock your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have extra keys.

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 lgnition
If you walk away from 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 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.
