What to Do When the Car Still Rolls After Applying the Handbrake?
1 Answers
Owners need to stay calm, quickly step on the foot brake to stop the car, then gently pull the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake. At this time, it is best not to remove the foot from the foot brake. After confirming that the handbrake is securely engaged, the foot brake can be released. Below are some possible reasons for the car rolling: 1. The brake gap is too large, reducing the squeezing force of the friction pads on the drum or disc when the handbrake is applied. 2. The handbrake was not pulled all the way, failing to reach the braking position. 3. If the car only rolls a very short distance, it indicates an issue with the engagement point between the handbrake and foot brake. 4. The road surface where the vehicle is parked is too smooth and has a significant slope.
