Correct answer
Reverse gear.
If we park on a steep downhill slope, before leaving the vehicle we should always stop the engine, disable the starting system and apply the parking brake. In addition, when the vehicle has a manual gearbox, the driver should leave first gear engaged on uphill slopes and reverse gear on downhill slopes.
