Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only

Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally - risk
of accident!

Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against moisture
and severe shocks.
