How do you leave your car running in GTA 5?

I keep running into problems where the cops get me because my car isn’t turned on when I enter it. Is there any way to keep your car running in GTA 5?

Although you could leave your car running in GTA 4 with ease, doing so in GTA 5 requires a little bit of a trick. Just follow these instructions to learn how to leave your car running in GTA 5:
  1. Get into a vehicle and turn the headlights on.
  2. Get out of the vehicle.
  3. Pull out a pistol and shoot a single shot into the air.
  4. Immediately get back in the car.
  5. Get back out of the car and the engine and lights should remain on.
Leaving your car running in real life isn’t exactly smart. So if your
car is stolen
, don’t be surprised. But if you live in an area with moderate to high crime, you might want to consider comprehensive coverage to protect you. Use the
