When leaving your parked car, which action is important for security?

Engage the alarm
Keep the windows slightly open
Engage the steering lock
Leave the engine running

The correct answer is: Engage the steering lock

Engaging the steering lock is an important security measure when leaving your parked car, as it helps deter theft. The steering lock secures the steering wheel in place, making it more difficult for a thief to drive away with the vehicle. This action effectively immobilizes the car and is a basic safety feature found in most vehicles, designed to add an extra layer of protection against unauthorized use. Other actions, while they may seem relevant, do not enhance security as effectively. For example, not securing the windows leaves the vehicle vulnerable to theft of contents inside, and keeping the engine running is illegal and poses safety hazards. Engaging the alarm can be beneficial, but on its own, it does not provide the physical immobilization that the steering lock ensures.
