wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away

parking brake should always be applied whenever the
driver is not in the vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
