What to Do If the Car Still Rolls After Pulling the Handbrake?
1 Answers
Solutions for the car rolling after pulling the handbrake: You can tighten the handbrake cable. For manual transmission vehicles, you can press the clutch with your left foot, press the brake with your right foot, engage any forward gear, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine to use the traction of the gear to prevent rolling. For automatic transmission vehicles, press the brake, shift to P (Park), pull the handbrake, turn off the engine, and use the locking mechanism of the automatic transmission's P gear to prevent further rolling. More details are as follows: 1. If the handbrake suddenly fails or cannot hold during normal use, it can be very dangerous, especially on steep slopes where sudden failure poses a greater risk. 2. Automatic transmission models are easier to operate; when in a forward gear, holding the brake will prevent rolling, and quickly applying the throttle while releasing the brake ensures the power is sufficient to move the vehicle forward.
