What Parking Gradient Can Damage a Car?

[LeRuby]

Parking on a slope exceeding 15% can cause damage to the car. Parking on a slope increases the risk of the vehicle rolling backward, which can easily lead to accidents. Hazards of parking on a slope: It can fatigue the handbrake cable, affecting the braking performance of the handbrake; reduce the service life of the transmission; cause aging of the front and rear suspensions, leading to uneven stiffness and height, affecting ride comfort; pose a risk of rolling; and increase the likelihood of scraping accidents. Methods to prevent rolling after parking: When parking on a slope, shift the vehicle into P (Park) mode; engage the handbrake; press the car's one-touch start button to turn off the engine. For long-term parking on a slope, first use the handbrake to secure the vehicle, then place bricks in front of the wheels facing the downhill side to fix them, release the handbrake to transfer the force to the wheels, and then re-engage the handbrake. The car's braking system only functions when the engine is running. Most vehicles currently use a front disc and rear drum braking system, while some models employ a four-wheel disc braking system.
