Did you have your car in gear too?

xacidx 12-05-2006 11:02 PM

no gear were engage.

maybe it is the settings on the handbrake. Just go to the workshop and ask them to adjust for you. Happens to a lot of new cars specially manual cars.

Strange...Slippery road doesn't cause the car to slide, correct me if I'm wrong. I guess you missed out the slope part, confirm?

It's probably the setting...then again, it's a good habit to engage gear when you park on slopes. My 8 ever kissed an Civicwhen I parked on a downslope even with the handbrake engaged. :mad:
