I f there is no curb when you're parking uphill, turn the wheels
to the right.
If there is no curb when you're parking uphill on the left side of a one-way
street, your wheels should be turned
to the left.
Torque
Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don't shift your transmission into
P
(Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put
too
much force on the
parking pawl in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever
out of P (Park). This is called torque lock. To prevent torque lock, always be
sure
to
shift into P (Park) before you leave the driver's seat.
To find out how,
see "Shifting Into
P (Park) in the Index."
When you are ready
to drive, move the shift lever out of
P (Park) BEFORE
you release the parking brake.
If "torque lock" does occur, you may need
to have another vehicle push
yours a little uphill
to take some of the pressure from the transmission,
so
you can pull the shift lever out of
P (Park).
