Why should you never leave a child or pet alone in a parked vehicle on a warm day?

201. Why should you never leave a child or pet alone in a parked vehicle on a warm day?

✓ The interior can heat up quickly and cause serious heat illness.
The tyres may lose pressure while the vehicle is parked.
The vehicle battery may discharge more quickly.
The windows may become difficult to open.

The inside of a parked vehicle can heat up rapidly, even when the outside temperature does not feel extreme. Children and animals are particularly vulnerable to overheating and heatstroke. Leaving a window partly open does not make the vehicle safe.
