The Correct Way to Release the Handbrake?

[Kelsey]

To release the handbrake, press the button on the head of the handbrake, pull it up slightly, then push the handle all the way down. To prolong the lifespan of the spring and the small latch, it's best to press the small latch with the pad of your thumb before pulling the handbrake. This way, pulling the handbrake will be silent and protect the handbrake.
