In a car, placing the wheel chock usually means placing the gear lever in such a way that it prevents the vehicle from sliding or rolling when parked. Here are some ways to place the wheel chock:
Vehicles with manual transmission: put the gear lever in first gear or reverse (reverse) position, and tighten the handbrake. If the vehicle is parked on a ramp, steer the tires toward the starting point and use the brakes to hold the vehicle steady.
Automatic vehicles: Put the gear lever in Park (usually marked "P") and apply the handbrake. If the vehicle is parked on a ramp, also steer the tires towards the starting point and use the brakes to stabilize the vehicle.
Electric vehicles: Before parking, switch the vehicle to "parking mode" or "P position" and tighten the handbrake. If the vehicle is parked on a ramp, also steer the tires towards the starting point and use the brakes to stabilize the vehicle.
Whether it is a manual transmission vehicle or an automatic transmission vehicle, the vehicle should be shifted into the park gear before parking to ensure that the vehicle does not slide or roll when parked. At the same time, remember to tighten the handbrake and use the brakes to ensure that the vehicle is parked stably.
When the car breaks down, what harm will there be if you don't use the
wheel chock?
If the wheel chock is not used when the car breaks down, the vehicle may continue to roll or slide, causing the following hazards:
Safety risk: If the vehicle is parked on a ramp or on a road with heavy traffic, failure to use wheel chock may cause the vehicle to slide or roll, causing an accident or hazard. Especially when the vehicle brakes fail, not using the wheel chock will cause the vehicle to lose control.
Mechanical damage: If the vehicle is bumped or hit while sliding or rolling, the vehicle may suffer mechanical damage or cause a more serious breakdown.
Wasted Energy: If the vehicle is coasting in neutral, the engine will keep running, wasting fuel and consuming energy.
Therefore, when the car breaks down, use the wheel chock in time, park the vehicle in a safe place and tighten the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from sliding or rolling and ensure the safety of the vehicle and passengers. In this case, it is best to tow the vehicle to a garage or service station to ensure that the vehicle is properly maintained and repaired.
How to find the right car chocks?
Finding the right car wheel chock requires consideration of the following:
Model and driving style: Different car models and driving styles require different types of wheel chocks. For example, the location and operation of the wheel chock is different for manual and automatic vehicles. When choosing a wheel chock, it is necessary to determine the suitable type of wheel chock according to the vehicle model and driving style.
Driving environment: If the vehicle often drives in mountains or on slopes, it is necessary to choose a wheel chock with better anti-skid function, such as the low gear of the manual transmission vehicle or the "snow mode" of the automatic transmission vehicle, etc.
Vehicle speed and road conditions: When the vehicle is running at high speed, the appropriate gear should be selected to ensure that the engine runs in the best working condition. Lower gears provide more power at low speeds. When the vehicle is running under different road conditions, it is also necessary to adjust the gear to adapt to different road surfaces.
Operation sequence: When selecting wheel chock, the operation sequence and time of each gear also need to be considered. For example, a manual transmission vehicle requires the clutch to be used to disengage the engine from the transmission before selecting the appropriate gear. For vehicles with automatic transmission, wait until the transmission is fully shifted into park before releasing the brakes.
In general, finding the right car wheel chock needs to be determined based on various factors such as vehicle model, driving environment, vehicle speed and road conditions. It is recommended to read the vehicle's operation manual carefully before driving to understand the operation and use of the vehicle's wheel chock. At the same time, you can also consult experienced drivers or professional auto maintenance technicians to get better advice and help.
