with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are
not restrained or improperly re-

the vehicle in or out of it.
. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the venti-
lation fan to force fresh air into
