Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature.

¡Nunca, nunca, nunca deje a niños, discapacitados, personas mayores o mascotas en coches aparcados y sin atender! Estudios demuestran que la temperatura interior de un coche aparcado puede ascender rápidamente a niveles peligrosos para personas y animales. Dejar las ventanas entreabiertas no reduce significativamente el aumento de la temperatura. Los efectos pueden ser más graves en los niños porque aún no tienen la capacidad de regular su temperatura corporal de forma eficiente.
