What is the proper way to use the handbrake?

[Carson]

Proper way to use the handbrake: 1. When pulling the handbrake, the buckle on the handbrake head will bounce back and forth, and there is a spring inside exerting force. To prolong the service life of the spring and the small buckle, it is best to press the small buckle with the thumb pad and then pull the handbrake. 2. Do not pull the handbrake up abruptly, as this will damage the handbrake over time. The correct way is to pull the handbrake up gently and smoothly, and you can clearly hear the sound of the handbrake. The professional name for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake, which is different from the principle of the main brake. It uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoe to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause plastic deformation of the steel wire. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness, and the travel of the handbrake will also increase.
