Should You Engage the Gear When Parking a Manual Transmission Car on a Slope?

[LeJesse]

Manual transmission cars should engage the gear when parking on a slope. Concept: The gear is a regulating device that adjusts the speed and traction (torque) of the car. The lower the gear, the slower the speed, but the greater the car's traction (torque). The higher the gear, the faster the speed, and the smaller the car's traction (torque). Gears are generally divided into two main categories: forward gears and reverse gears. Engaging a forward gear makes the car move forward, while engaging the reverse gear makes the car move backward. Ordinary Car Gears: Generally, ordinary cars have five forward gears and only one reverse gear. The first forward gear is the starting gear, where the speed is the slowest (0-10 km/h), but the torque is the greatest.
