9-40-080 Required parking procedure.

No person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall permit it to stand unattended without first stopping the engine and removing the ignition key, and when standing upon any grade, effectively setting the brake thereon and turning the front wheels to the curb or side of the roadway. Nothing in this section prohibits the use of a remote ignition start device which is capable of starting a vehicle's ignition without the vehicle's ignition key, if (a) the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft feature which prevents the vehicle from being driven without the ignition key being properly inserted; and (b) the owner of the vehicle displays on the vehicle a decal or sticker indicating the presence of such a remote ignition start device.
