Just have a few questions. How do I set my maint req light to come on every 5K miles and does the glove box lock when I lock the car with the keyless entery system- There is no key hole on glove box. Thanks.

You don't set the light.. it does on its own.

Sit inside the car while you press the button on your remote to lock the doors, then try to open the glove box.. chances are it doesn't have a lock.

^^ Funny you say that. I tried that theory only locked the car with the door lock on the door, not the remote and glove box was still unlocked. so it only works with the remote?

I think that feature slowly faded away after car companys realizing if someone can break into your car in a few seconds/minutes how long would it take them to break into your plastic glove box

unless it's a push button type which would be harder to break into if it had a lock, I suppose, compared to the lift-up type (Corolla, Camry etc)

My Corolla has 4 small screws and 2 plastic tabs holding it in

I bet using a crow bar, jimmy bar, tire iron or a large screw driver I could break into any glove box in under 15 seconds no matter if it had a button lock, pad lock or was duck taped closed...Unless you could weld a steel safe somewhere to your frame

I would suggest leaving your valuables at home...A friend of mine just lost 25 credit cards, all his business checks and other valuables left in his glove box from his LOCKED business truck while he was in for 5 minutes getting a cup of coffee...Oh did I mention they stold his truck too?..So if they could break into an F150 and drive away in under 5 minutes what chance do you have with a locked glove box

...I will hit the junks yards once it gets warm and armed with only a tire iron(pointed end) see if I can break my record of 15 seconds

...lol what do you want to keep in that LOCKED glove box anyway...golf balls?...Radd Guy...

well I was just wondering. Only stuff in there is oil change papers, directions for a few things, and owners manual. I do have a cell phone charger and few other things in center console. But who would steal a plug in power adapter lamp and a weatherradio? That would have to be one desperate thief, LOL. I keep my insurance card in my wallet. :-)

and whats a push button type?
