would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They

temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.

long periodsas it maycause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
