166 Starting and driving
Parking on a hill
When parking on a steep hill, turn the front
wheels so that they will be blocked by the
curb if the car should move.
NOTE
Empty the car yourself and bear in mind:
• Never leave a mobile phone, camera,
computer or similar object visible in
your car.
• Clothing, packages and bags attract
thieves.
• Do not leave small objects such as
CDs, sunglasses and coins visible.
• If possible, park in a well-lit,
conspicuous parking space.
• Thieves strike whenever and wher-
ever they are given the opportunity.
