BDifficulty 2/5

You park a manual-transmission car uphill and will leave the driving seat. What must you do with the parking brake?

Correct answer

Leave it engaged and also select first gear.

Leave it engaged under article 92.3 and select first gear on this uphill slope. Relying on the gear without applying the brake is insufficient. Use the parking position where applicable for an automatic transmission. Specified vehicles and combinations on substantial gradients also require suitable chocking or support of a steered road wheel against the kerb under the prescribed conditions; this does not replace the parking brake.
