BDifficulty 2/5

When parking a car and leaving the driving position in sub-zero temperatures, what must you do about the parking brake?

Correct answer

Leave it applied and ensure the vehicle is secured.

Leave it applied under Article 92.3.b. Cold weather creates no general exception to this duty. Follow manufacturer instructions; if there is a fault or a risk of the mechanism freezing, obtain help and a safe solution before leaving the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured.
