DAPURPACUID – As we know, there are often images circulating on social media that are CCTV captures showing how criminals steal vehicles.
There are many modes of theft such as car accessories, spare parts, items in the car, also car theft that occurs when the driver is off guard without knowing the place. The perpetrators’ actions vary such as breaking glass, breaking into doors, using T-keys, even group theft modes or taking advantage when the door is unlocked and the driver is off guard against the items in his car. Preventive actions need to be taken by drivers to avoid the occurrence of theft crimes.
To be more vigilant, here are some simple tips provided by Hyundai Gowa to prevent theft.
Always lock doors and windows
If you want to leave the car even for a moment, make sure all doors and windows are locked automatically. Double check and make sure the alarm is on.
Park in a safe place
Park your car in a well-lit and busy area, avoid quiet and unsupervised places because they are prone to theft. If necessary, equip a CCTV camera in the garage.
Don’t leave valuables in the car
Valuables left in the car such as bags, laptops, or cell phones that are visible from the window can invite theft, such as breaking the glass. Make it a habit to take valuables with you when leaving the car. If you need to leave valuables, store them in the trunk or a hidden place.
Use double lock
For added security, use additional locks such as handlebar locks, wheel locks, or pedal locks. Choose quality additional locks. With additional locks, the car stays in place even if the thief manages to start the car engine.
Use security technology
One of the efforts to prevent car theft, it is important for drivers to choose a car that is equipped with security features. Hyundai answers the need for driving safety by presenting the Bluelink application, a platform that makes it easy for car owners to check important information about their cars. The application that can be downloaded via smartphone provides facilities to connect to the Hyundai call center 7 x 24 hours in case of emergency and need help quickly.
Hyundai Gowa as a Hyundai dealer with the largest network in Indonesia provides vehicle sales services that are integrated with the Bluelink system, namely Hyundai Stargazer, Stargazer X, Santa Fe, Palisade, IONIQ 5, and All-New Kona Electric.
