What does the car parking brake typically brake?

[KeeganRose]

The car parking brake typically brakes the two rear wheels to prevent vehicle rollaway, which could lead to vehicle damage or traffic accidents. When applying the parking brake, press down on the brake pedal, pull up the parking brake lever, or activate the electronic brake switch. This action locks the two rear wheels, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. Important notes when using the parking brake: The parking brake should not be used while driving, as this can cause the brake temperature to rise, reduce braking efficiency, and shorten the brake's lifespan. When parking, ensure the brake is firmly engaged for stable braking. Before moving off, fully release the parking brake to avoid damage. Always make sure the gear lever is in the neutral position when parking.
