What is the solution for smelling a burning odor when driving without releasing the handbrake?

[McLeo]

The solution for smelling a burning odor when driving without releasing the handbrake is to immediately slow down, then brake, release the handbrake, and check if the brake pads are normal after the car temperature drops. The correct method for applying the handbrake is: 1. Press the handbrake button before pulling it; 2. Apply gentle force when pulling the handbrake; 3. Pull the handbrake to about 70% of its full range, as pulling it to the highest point will shorten the lifespan of the handbrake cable. The function of the handbrake is to provide braking when parking on flat or sloped surfaces, preventing the vehicle from moving automatically when unattended and avoiding traffic accidents. The dangers of forgetting to release the handbrake while driving include: 1. The brake pump cannot provide sufficient braking force, causing the engine to stall; 2. Accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to friction heat; 3. Stretching of the handbrake cable; 4. Leakage of brake cylinder oil, leading to brake failure.
