Do I need to press the button on the handle when pulling up the handbrake?

When pulling up the handbrake, there is no need to press the button. However, when releasing the handbrake, you should slightly lift the handbrake and press the front button to release it. Introduction to the handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. Components of the handbrake: It consists of a brake lever, cable, brake mechanism, and return spring, acting on the drive shaft or rear wheel brakes to achieve vehicle stability.
