What to Do When the Car Still Rolls After Engaging the Handbrake?

[Khloe]

Solutions for when the car still rolls after engaging the handbrake: 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, using the gear's traction to prevent rolling. For automatic transmission vehicles, press the brake, shift to P (Park), engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine, utilizing the automatic transmission's P gear lock to prevent further rolling. More details are as follows: 1. If the handbrake suddenly fails or doesn't 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, pressing the brake prevents rolling, and releasing the brake while quickly applying the throttle ensures the power is sufficient to move the vehicle forward.
