Leaving young children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many reasons.
A child or others could be badly injured or
even killed,
They could operate power windows or other
controls
or even make the vehicle move. If they
turned the ignition
to ON and moved the shift
lever out of
PARK (P), that would release the
parking brake. Don’t leave the keys
in a vehicle
with young children.
