I know if you have alot of experience driving a car with a manual tranny, this shouldnt be an issue for you. But I bet alot of people would like to have them as a precaution.

All cars come with hill holders.



Step 1: release brake pedal

Step 2: realize car is rolling backwards

Step 3: reapply brake pedal

Step 4: engage parking brake
