What is a Parking Brake Lever?
1 Answers
The parking brake lever is a control device that enables the vehicle to remain stationary on the ground or a plane without relative movement. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Auto Hold: The foreign name for auto hold is AUTO-HOLD, which refers to an automatic braking function. When this function is activated, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Precautions: Regardless of the parking situation, it is essential to develop the habit of firmly pulling the handbrake lever when leaving the vehicle. When using the handbrake, the lever must be pulled tight; otherwise, it is easy to forget to release it when starting the vehicle, which can lead to severe wear on the rear brake pads if the vehicle is driven with the handbrake engaged.
