What is in addition to setting your parking brake what should you do when parking on a hill?

When parking on a hill, in addition to setting your parking brake, you should take the following steps:

• <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Turning%20Your%20Wheels">Turning Your Wheels</a>: This is crucial to prevent your vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail.

  • Uphill with a Curb: Turn your front wheels away from the curb. This way, if the car rolls backward, the front tire will hit the curb, stopping it.
  • Uphill without a Curb: Turn your front wheels towards the side of the road. If the car rolls, it will roll off the road, not into traffic.
  • Downhill with or without a Curb: Turn your front wheels towards the curb (or towards the side of the road if there is no curb). If the car rolls forward, the tire will hit the curb (or roll off the road).

• Engage the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Parking%20Gear">Parking Gear</a>: Make sure your vehicle is in "Park" (P) if it's an automatic transmission or in first gear (uphill) or reverse (downhill) if it's a manual transmission.

• Consider Using <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Wheel%20Blocks">Wheel Blocks</a>: For very steep hills, consider using wheel blocks behind the downhill tires for extra security.
