crumbs over the ignition switch. If dirt or
liquid gets into it, the switch may not
operate properly.
If snow from clothing falls into the ignition
switch and melts, the ignition switch can
seize (freeze). Brush snow off clothing
before getting into the car.

ing the remote control.

while the car is moving. This will acti-
vate the steering wheel lock and make
it impossible to steer the car.
