When you reach your destination, securing the vehicle means removing the key, turning everything off, and locking up. Removing the key from the ignition stops someone from starting the car or driving off, and turning off the lights and engine prevents battery drain and reduces fuel use and emissions. Stashing valuables out of sight helps avoid tempting theft. Locking the doors completes the security by ensuring the car can’t be opened without the key.

Leaving the engine running, leaving lights on, or leaving valuables visible while the doors are unlocked creates clear opportunities for theft and unnecessary drain on the battery.
