What is the sequence for the parking brake, transmission selector, and drive selector on the M1151 HMMWV?

• A. Up, skip, neutral
• B. Down, engage, park
• C. Pull, twist, release
• D. Forward, neutral, reverse

Answer: (A)

The sequence being tested is about how you safely secure and prepare the vehicle when you’re done or need to work on it. First, you engage the parking brake to lock the wheels and prevent any movement. Next, you shift the transmission to neutral to disconnect the engine from the drivetrain and reduce strain or movement if the vehicle is moved. Finally, you set the drive selector to neutral so there’s no drive engagement if maneuvering is needed or if towing is required. That’s why the up, skip, neutral sequence is the correct choice: it starts with the parking brake applied, moves the transmission to a neutral state, and ends with the drive selector in neutral. The other options describe actions or positions that don’t match the proper safe order or the actual control states used for parking and securing the vehicle.
