Should the parking brake be pulled up or released?
1 Answers
Parking brake should be pulled up. The hazards of forgetting to release the handbrake while driving are: 1. The brake pump cannot provide sufficient braking force, causing the engine to stall; 2. Accelerated wear of brake discs and hardening of brake pads due to friction heat; 3. Lengthening of the handbrake cable; 4. Potential leakage of brake cylinder oil leading to brake failure. The functions of handbrake are: 1. When parking, pulling up the handbrake keeps the vehicle stationary and prevents rollback that may cause traffic accidents; 2. During driving, pulling up the handbrake while turning can achieve a drifting effect; 3. In emergency situations, the handbrake can serve as a braking device.
