What does it mean to release the handbrake?
1 Answers
Releasing the handbrake refers to the action of disengaging the mechanical handbrake when starting the car, as failure to do so can lead to wear and tear on the braking system hardware and even cause the engine to stall. Below is an introduction to the handbrake: 1. Function of the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether manual or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 2. Smart AUTOHOLD Auto Hold function: The Smart AUTOHOLD Auto Hold function automatically engages four-wheel braking when the car is stopped at traffic lights or on slopes. To release the stationary state, simply press the accelerator lightly to disengage the brake.
