Explanation

For answer  A 

The service brake, meaning the normal foot brake, is not used to secure a car so that it does not move on a slope.


For answer  B 

If you bring the gear selector lever to “neutral”, meaning “taken out of gear”, the running mechanism (the wheels + the transmission) will no longer be “linked” to the engine and thus the car will be able to move on the slope.


For answer  C 

For the car not to move on a slope, it is obligatory to secure it using the gear selector, this is done by engaging the gear lever in a lower gear, for example first gear, but also by applying the parking brake. The parking brake (also called the hand brake or auxiliary brake) immobilizes the car by locking the wheels.

But in the case in which the car is involuntarily immobilized on a slope or on an ascent, besides the obligations listed above, it must have the steering wheels turned. Turning the steering wheels refers to the maximum turning of the wheels.


The correct answer is: C
