Where to Pour Hot Water When the Handbrake is Frozen?

[VonCali]

Do not use hot water to pour on a frozen handbrake. Engage the reverse gear: If the weather is not too severe and there are no obstacles behind or around, you can engage the reverse gear, step hard on the accelerator to reverse, forcing the brake to release. This method is relatively simple and rough, but it consumes more fuel. Pour hot water on the brake discs: If the freezing is more severe, you can pour hot water on the brake discs of the two rear wheels to slowly melt the ice and snow. During this process, you can use a wooden stick to gently tap a few times to speed up the thawing process. Do not apply the handbrake: When parking on a flat road, try to avoid using the handbrake. For automatic transmission vehicles, as long as the gear is in P (Park), not applying the handbrake is also fine. If parking on a slope, you can place bricks behind the wheels to prevent the car from sliding.
