What Causes the Parking Brake Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
The reason is forgetting to release the handbrake. Below is relevant information about the handbrake: 1. Introduction to the Handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Precautions for Using the Handbrake: Avoid pulling the handbrake to its highest position, as the cables in the handbrake system include not only steel wires but also nylon ropes. If it's always pulled to the highest position, the nylon rope will quickly suffer from material fatigue.
