Warning

open it. The chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is increased
if the doors are not locked. So, all passengers should wear safety belts properly

to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent
injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving
it.
