and serious injuries.

your vehicle with the selector lever in P.
Otherwise, the vehicle could inadvertently
roll away .

to 10 minutes even after you have turned
off the engine and removed the ignition key.
The radiator fan can also turn on again if the
engine coolant heats up because of intense
sunlight or heat build-up in the engine com-
partment.
- Always take the key with you whenever you
leave your vehicle. Otherwise, the engine
could be started or electrical equipment

from the vehicle on their own in the event of
an emergency. Depending on the time of
