The parking brake may relax if left on for a long period of time. Always
block the wheels to prevent rolling. Always block the wheels on the
downhill side of the vehicle if leaving it parked on a hill. Another option
is to park the vehicle in a sidehill position. Never depend on the parking
brake alone if the vehicle is parked on a hill. Always block the wheels to
prevent rolling.
