Correct answer

  • AAdoptar las precauciones necesarias para impedir el uso del vehículo sin su autorización.Take the necessary precautions to prevent the vehicle from being used without their permission.
Explanation

Before leaving the driving seat we must: - Stop the engine and switch off the ignition. If you go away from the vehicle, prevent it from being used without permission. - Leave the parking brake on. - If the vehicle is left on a slope, we must: - Engage the right gear: first gear on an uphill slope and reverse gear on a downhill slope, or, where applicable, the park position. Vehicle combinations, buses and vehicles with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) over 3,500 kg must be properly chocked: - by resting one of the steering wheels against the kerb, turned towards the centre of the carriageway on uphill slopes and outwards on downhill slopes, or - by using suitable chocks; stones or other objects not designed for this purpose may not be used. The chocks must be removed before moving off.
