• b. A qualified person responsible for disabling the display vehicle will need to be on site during load in and able to demonstrate to the Fire Marshal or ACCD Safety staff that the vehicle starting system has been disabled.
• c. Removal of the key as the only method for disabling the vehicle is NOT an approved method.
