Caution one finally leaving vehicle (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

car

'vehicle' is the definition.
(car is a kind of vehicle)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for car that I've seen before include "Wheeled vehicle" , "Motor vehicle" , "One for the road?" , "Railway carriage; vehicle" , "Auto" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
