Best Answer

1. Turn on your right turn signal

2. Get about six inches from the curb

3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right

4. Put the car in neutral and let the wheels roll until the hit the curb

5. Put the car in park

6. Put on the emergency brake

7. When you are ready to leave, take off the emergency brake, put the car in reverse, and gently get off the curb. Then put your left signal on, put the car in drive, and leave.

An easy way to remember if you turn the wheels left or right is:

Up up and away. If you're uphill parking turn the wheels away from the curb.

Down Down in. If you're downhill parking turn the wheels inwards towards the curb.

When parking uphill on a street with no curve how should your front wheels be positioned?

Uphill, turn your front wheels toward where a curb should be. Set your parking brake. If the brakes fail, the wheels will turn your backend back toward the side of the road. If downhill, turn the wheels toward the curb/side of the road with parking brake on---if a failure, downhill gravity will take the car to the side rather than rolling into traffic.


Should a car be left in gear when parking on a hill?

Yes, stop, set parking brake, then release clutch. it is because the parking brake could fail. used as a precaution. there is also a difference in which gear to use for the direction of the hill. you put reverce when the car is facing downhill and viceversa.
