Thats kinda hard to do as the car will beep at you loudly the whole time your walking away. If that beep is not loud go the dealer and have them turn it up. Plus the ice will be running if its parked and air on. If the ice is not on the inverter will be running and petty much screaming too. its loud. Hard to not notice these loud things.

Like said before always always lock car either with remote or door button. Even in the garage. Get in that habit before someone drives your car away.

The beep can be turned up louder by the dealer? I did not know that. Would a dealer charge for that?

Hi,
Yes I think there are different sound levels to that warning beep the dealer can adjust using there Panasonic Toughbook laptop. I think it's been discussed here before. Mine 07 is quite loud and impossible to walk away from.But again always lock the car. Always always. If its unhappy it will not allow you to lock itself up alerting you to possible complete day ruining ramifications.

That's ok, unless you left it in the garage and you also left the AC on for 8 hours too.....You may risk your family with the CO poisoning.

A Prius in good working order emits almost no CO. Normal air leakage in the garage should dilute the CO. A gas lawnmower is a different story...

Well, never take any chances if the ICE did run intermittently for 8 hours.....it's still burning gasoline afterall.

Though I doubt anyone could let a gas lawnmower runs for 8 hours without notice.....yea, its emission sure is killer.

This is where I have to admit that we have actually already talked about this:
