key fob or closing the door will allow the locks to operate. A
chime will sound if the key fob is in the ignition switch and
a door is open, as a reminder to remove the key fob.

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