On rare occasion I have to park in relatives steep driveway. It's easier to get out if I park facing downward in front of their garage. When I return hours later I have a problem sometimes rolling forward when trying to reverse back up the steep drive. Tonight I had to left foot brake then put car into reverse then throttle on and release the brake pedal. Normally I have my right foot on the brake select R and move to the throttle.
I full expect my solution is reverse into the drive but I'm now wondering if I'm missing a trick. I had no issue with my Lexus after releasing the foot operated handbrake once car was in reverse it stayed put until throttle used. The car must have sensed an incline.
Thoughts and solutions. I understand with the manual you need to us the right hand handbrake lever but with the Auto as soon as you select fwd or reverse it releases. I don't have any issue rolling back on hill afaik so far.
