Should the handbrake be lowered or raised when starting the car?

[VanElla]

When starting the car, the handbrake needs to be lowered, and when parking, the handbrake needs to be pulled up. The commonly referred to "releasing the handbrake" means lowering the handbrake. For small cars, the handbrake is sometimes located behind the transmission, where there is a brake disc connected to the drive shaft, similar to a disc brake (though drum brakes are also used). The braking force is transmitted via a cable to achieve parking braking. Relevant information about braking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. 2. Principle: The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine, and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.
