Using these services will impact the state of your vehicle. So use these services with care!

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the lock component that is created automatically for each vehicle. Before invoking these services, make sure it's safe to lock/unlock the vehicle in the current situation.

If your vehicle is equipped with auxiliary heating, only trigger this service if the vehicle is parked in a location where it is safe to use it (e.g., not in an underground parking or closed garage).
The vehicle is identified via the parameter vin.
