When parking on a downhill slope, apply the service brake earlier than on level ground. Due to gravity, the vehicle's speed will gradually increase, requiring a longer stopping distance compared to flat sections. Here are some relevant guidelines: 1. During normal driving, always use the service brake (foot brake) to decelerate or stop while moving forward. If the service brake fails, engage the parking brake instead. 2. After coming to a complete stop, apply the parking brake (handbrake) to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. In addition to using the parking brake, shift to a lower gear when parking uphill (to prevent rolling back) or engage first/second gear when parking downhill - refrain from pressing the accelerator and rely solely on gear braking to control downhill speed.
