How to Use Service Brake When Parking on an Uphill Road?
1 Answers
When parking on an uphill road using the service brake, the method is as follows: Braking means stopping the vehicle. When driving uphill, the speed naturally decreases due to gradient resistance, resulting in a shorter braking distance compared to level roads. Therefore, braking should be applied later than on level roads, with only light braking needed on gentle slopes. The method for using the service brake when driving downhill is: When driving downhill, the speed gradually increases due to gravity, so the braking distance for stopping on a downhill road is longer than on level roads, requiring earlier braking than on level roads. The brake is divided into the service brake (foot brake) and the parking brake (hand brake).
