Uphill Parking

Uphill Park with a Curb

• Complete a proper lane change moving slowly from the driving lane into the curb lane.
• Bring the vehicle to a stop in a parallel position with the curb. To complete the park in a satisfactory position, it is necessary to start quite close to the curb (10-15cm away).
• Shoulder check to the left and when safe, move slowly forward a short distance (1 metre maximum) while steering sharply to a full left lock.
• Stop and select reverse gear.
• Look out of the rear window and allow the vehicle to move slowly backwards until the right front tire lightly touches the curb.
• Select neutral, ease off the brake and allow the vehicle to settle against the curb.
• Re-apply the foot brake, select PARK, and set the park brake.

Leaving the Uphill Park

• Apply the foot brake, select DRIVE, then release the park brake.
• Scan 360 degrees.
• Shoulder check to the left.
• When safe, signal and shoulder check again. If safe, safely leave the curb.
