into the steering wheel to
get access to the ignition
switch or other keys in front
of the dashboard. This can
reduce the controllability of
the vehicle, resulting in an
accident.

brake is engaged.

oor and shift the gear selector
in neutral position. When starting
the engine, push the clutch
pedal all the way down.
