How to Park an Automatic Transmission Vehicle on an Uphill Slope?
1 Answers
When parking an automatic transmission vehicle on an uphill slope, follow these three main steps: Step 1: Engage the handbrake. Step 2: Release the foot brake. Step 3: Press the foot brake, shift the gear to N (Neutral), and then to P (Park). If you engage the handbrake while still in D (Drive), the vehicle retains forward propulsion, similar to starting with the handbrake engaged. Additionally, when parking an automatic transmission vehicle on a slope, note that the P (Park) gear's locking mechanism relies on gear engagement inside the transmission. After parking, keep the foot brake pressed, engage the handbrake while shifting to N (Neutral), then release the foot brake to allow the vehicle to settle and the handbrake to take effect. Finally, press the foot brake again and shift to P (Park).
