BDifficulty 2/5

The driver leaves their position after parking a manual-transmission car on an uphill gradient. Besides switching off the engine and taking other precautions, what must remain applied or engaged?

Correct answer

the parking brake applied and first gear engaged.

The parking brake and first gear under article 92.3. On a downhill gradient, reverse gear; where fitted, the appropriate parking position applies. These measures help prevent unintended movement but do not guarantee protection against every failure. Check immobilisation and follow manufacturer instructions; section 3.d vehicles have additional securing requirements on appreciable gradients.
