your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition
lock and to lock the doors.

may result in serious personal injury and pro-
perty damage.

le. They can operate power windows and
other controls. If the engine is left running,

move the key while you are driving or as the
car is rolling to a stop. You will not be able to
steer the car.
