Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
On a cold morning, you park on the street and run into a store for a few minutes. Your car has an automatic transmission. What should you do before you walk away?
Correct answer: Set the parking brake, shift into park, take the keys, and lock the doors
Why
Montana law says you may not leave a vehicle unattended until you have secured it so it cannot roll onto the roadway. The manual adds practical steps: set the parking brake every time, leave an automatic in park or a manual in gear, never leave the keys inside, and lock the doors. A short stop is no exception, because a rolling or stolen car can hurt others.
