Is It Harmful to Drive 5 Kilometers with the Handbrake On?
1 Answers
Driving 5 kilometers with the handbrake on is generally not a major issue, but prolonged driving in this condition can easily cause damage to the car's wheel hubs. Here is a detailed introduction about car handbrakes and wheel hubs: 1. Handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance when parking, preventing the car from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 2. Wheel Hub: The wheel hub (Car-Rim) is the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed, also known as the "rim" or "steel rim." Wheel hubs are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode or deform, posing safety hazards.
