Question 7241
If you park a passenger car on level ground and walk away from it, among other measures, you must…
- always put the transmission in the park position.
- place wheel chocks or rest the wheels against the sidewalk.
- take the necessary precautions to prevent it from being used without authorization.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: take the necessary precautions to prevent it from being used without authorization.
If you walk away from your car, besides turning off the engine and applying the parking brake, you must take precautions to prevent anyone from using it without permission, such as locking it and taking the key with you. The P position is for automatic transmissions, and wheel chocks or placing a wheel against the curb are measures for slopes.
