How to Use the Handbrake When Automatic Transmission Brakes Fail
1 Answers
Automatic transmission brake failure handbrake method: First release the accelerator pedal, shift the gear to manual mode, and sequentially downshift from high gear to low gear. Some models may prohibit automatic transmission downshifting to protect the gearbox. Each downshift should be coordinated with the handbrake to reduce speed, then continue downshifting sequentially. When pulling the handbrake, press the release button and pull the handbrake continuously without locking it, then press down until the vehicle stops and shift to park. In case of automatic transmission brake failure, immediately turn on the hazard lights to signal other vehicles and avoid traffic accidents, then proceed with gear braking or handbrake braking.
