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 tone reminding you to remove your key from the
ignition and take it with you. Always do this. Your
ignition and transaxle will be locked. 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 trunk
or glove box. Be sure to close and lock the
storage area.

Close all windows.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the master
key with you.

2-16
Universal Theft-Deterrent (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the SECURITY light
will flash as you open the door (if your ignition is
in OFF).
This light on the instrument
panel cluster reminds you to
activate the theft
-deterrent
system when leaving
your vehicle.
To activate the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The SECURITY light should come on
and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after about 30 seconds and the system will then
be armed.If the SECURITY light comes on for one minute and
then shuts off while the ignition is on, the security system
has detected a problem. See your dealer for service.
Once the theft system is armed, the THEFT light on the
Twilight Sentinel

dimmer switch will flash to indicate
the system is armed.
If a door is opened without the key or remote keyless
entry transmitter, or if the door key cylinders are
damaged, the alarm will go off. The exterior lamps will
flash and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will
go off in order to save battery power.
Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won't activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock switch while
the door is open, or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Avoid setting off the alarm by accident.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry system transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by
pressing the button with the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm won't stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
