What Causes the Car Handbrake to Not Release?
1 Answers
Car handbrake may not release due to the handbrake cable being stuck. Here are precautions for using the car handbrake: 1. Do not pull the handbrake too high: When using the handbrake, pull it to 70% of its height. The braking effect is the same whether fully pulled or at 70%, and consistently pulling it to the maximum can reduce the cable's recovery ability and shorten the handbrake's lifespan. 2. Pull the handbrake gently: Slowly pull up the handbrake when engaging it. Avoid yanking it abruptly, as this can easily cause damage. 3. Do not use the handbrake as a substitute for the foot brake: At high speeds, using the handbrake instead of the foot brake can lock the wheels, causing the car to skid, and the handbrake cable may also snap.
