
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-


reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
