Correct answer
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
If we leave a vehicle parked on level ground, we must always stop the engine and apply the parking brake to ensure that it remains stationary. This is essential to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally and to ensure the safety of the vehicle, pedestrians and other drivers. In addition to stopping the engine and applying the parking brake, it is important to disconnect the starting system and, if we move away from the vehicle, ensure that it cannot be used without authorisation. This may include locking it and activating any vehicle security system.
