Remote control vehicle keys
help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked with
the remote control vehicle key. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending
on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the
passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can
result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than
the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch or turn off the
ignition with the starter button while the vehicle is moving or
rolling to a stop. The electronic steering column could
suddenly lock, you would not be able to steer, and you could
lose control of the vehicle, crash, and seriously injure yourself
and others.
