in the cargo area or take them with you.
Lock the doors and the tailgate.

Check the indicator on the instrument panel to verify that the security system is set.
Never park over dry leaves, tall grass, or other flammable materials. The hot three way catalytic converter could cause these materials to catch on fire.
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb.

Make sure the parking brake is fully released before driving away.
