  • wheel straps are commonly used to secure a vehicle to a trailer. similar straps are used to secure a vehicle in place on a chassis dynamometer.

note: its a good idea to roll down the drivers window anytime the vehicle is being worked on. this ensures the ignition switch can be easily accessed from outside the car in an emergency; as well as eliminate the possibility of accidentally locking the keys inside the vehicle when the engine is running.
