compartment, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect
and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check for leftover
flammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
