Question 6301

If your vehicle has a manual transmission, how must you park on a street with an uphill slope?

  1. By applying the parking brake and putting it in reverse.
  2. Applying the parking brake is enough.
  3. By applying the parking brake and putting it in first gear.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: By applying the parking brake and putting it in first gear.

When parking uphill with a manual transmission, apply the parking brake and leave the car in first gear. The brake alone is not enough on a slope, and reverse is the gear to use when parking downhill.
