Properly Parking On a Hill

• On a sloping driveway, turn the wheels so the car will not roll into the street if the brakes fail. Set the parking brake.
• Headed downhill, turn your front wheels into the curb or toward the side of the road. Set the parking brake.
• Headed uphill, turn your front wheels away from the curb and let your vehicle roll back a few inches. The back of the front wheel should gently touch the curb. Set the parking brake.
• Headed either uphill or downhill and there is no curb, turn the wheels so the car will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail. Set the parking brake.
• Always set your parking brake and leave the vehicle in gear or the "park" position.
