Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exteri\
or
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
remove any frost, snow

, or ice.
•
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
a

small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\
er 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.
Interior Checks •
Store or secure all items on board properly.
•
Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
•
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the
vehicle.
•
Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
•
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\
under the
seats.
•
everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
