ate power windows or other con-
trols, or even make the vehicle
move, which could result in serious
bodily injury or even death. Never
leave the keys in your vehicle with
unsupervised children.

ignition key in your vehicle. If an
aftermarket key is used, the ignition
switch may not return to ON after
