When parking, especially on a hill, the hand brake should be fully engaged
When you are driving a manual transmission vehicle, the handbrake can be partially engaged to give you better control as you push the clutch and gas when starting from a stopped position going uphill, so you don't roll backwards.

First make sure the the rear brakes are correctly adjusted. Next thing is to make sure the front wheels are choked so that the car does not roll during adjustment. Now release the handbrake. Next to the handbrake you will see two nuts on a threaded shaft. The bottom one is used for adjusting the handbrake whilst the top one is just a lock nut to stop the bottom nut from working loose. You will need to loosen the top nut and then turn the bottom nut to adjust the handbrake. The handbrake should be adjusted so that it holds the car when clicked 4-7 times.
