Correct Incorrect In an automatic car, when you take your foot off the brake and shift to park, it may roll a little. In a manual car, that movement can be greater. To prevent rolling, always engage the emergency brake (also known as the parking brake) while your foot is on the brake.

• Put on the emergency brake.
• Let the car cool down for a minute before exiting the car.
