DRIVER'S HANDBOOK

Chapter 8: Backing and Parking

In this chapter
     

    Vehicles with automatic transmission should be placed in the Park position. Vehicles with manual transmission should be placed in reverse or low gear. In both cases, always set your parking brake firmly.

    Uphill parking - turn the wheels away from the curb.

    Downhill parking - turn the wheels toward the curb so the position of the wheel will help hold the car.

    If there’s no curb, whether you are parking up or downhill, turn wheels slightly to the right so that if the car begins rolling, it will move off the roadway.
