your vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,

or with access to an unlocked vehicle.

• Allowing children to be in a vehicle un-

attended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.

dren. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
