Saab 2008 9-3 - Manual (Page 180)

180 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.
If the car is parked with one front wheel
touching the curb, for example, you may
need to turn the steering wheel slightly
when you insert the remote control to allow
the steering wheel lock to unlock.
NOTE
Empty the car yourself and bear in mind:
• Never leave a mobile phone, camera,
computer or similar object visible in
the 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, conspicu-
ous parking space.
• Thieves strike whenever and wher-
ever they are given the opportunity.
1 Downhill with curb .
Turn the wheels toward
the curb and edge the car
forwards until the wheel
lightly touches the curb.
2 Uphill with curb. Turn
the wheels away from the
curb and edge the car
backward until the wheel
lightly touches the curb.
3 Uphill or downhill with-
out curb. Turn the wheel
towards the edge of the
road so that the car,
should it move, will not
roll towards the middle of
the road.
