How Often Should the Car Handbrake Cable Be Replaced?

[Kennedy]

Car handbrake cables should be replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers. The handbrake is located next to the gear lever on the right side of the driver's seat. Also known as the parking brake, its functions include: 1. Keeping the car stationary and preventing it from rolling downhill; 2. Pulling up the handbrake during a turn can achieve a drifting effect. Precautions for using the handbrake are: 1. Avoid pulling the mechanical handbrake too tightly; 2. For automatic transmission cars, engage the handbrake before shifting to P (Park) mode. The working principle of the car handbrake is: 1. The brake disc connected to the driveshaft transmits the pulling force back through the steel cable to achieve parking braking; 2. After pulling the handbrake, the hydraulic auxiliary cylinder is used to push the main hydraulic cylinder under the car, which then drives the air valve to act, thereby braking the driveshaft.
