KERBSIDE STOP

Parking uphill, turn the steering wheel fully to the right (away from the nearest kerb); parking downhill, turn the steering wheel fully to the left (towards the nearest kerb).

Thanks to this precaution, if an unattended car goes downhill for any reason, its front part will set against the kerb and stop. If you forget to angle front wheels, you may fail the driving test.

If you are leaving the car, make sure to close all windows and switch off lights.

Sidelights stay on even after pulling out the ignition switch, unless you switch them off.

Switch off the engine.

How? - see CAR CONTROLS section - Shutting down the engine.

If you are leaving the car:

Unbuckle the seat belt.

Ensure you do not hit anyone by opening the door.

Check mirrors and look over your shoulder before opening the door.

Remove the car key and lock the car.

Press the “Doors” button (or “Lock” button in other car models) on the remote control.

How? - see CAR CONTROLS section – Remote Control.

In a public place, pull a door handle to make sure the car is locked, since there are electronic theft devices that can block remote locking.
