Why Can't the Handbrake Be Released When Pulled Too Tight?
1 Answers
The reason is that the handbrake is stuck at the top by the rack. You need to press the handbrake switch, pull it up slightly with force, and then release it downward. Here are some precautions for using the car handbrake: 1. Do not pull the handbrake too high: When using the handbrake, pull it to about 70% of its height. The braking effect is the same whether it is fully pulled or at 70%. Moreover, pulling the handbrake to its limit for a long time will reduce the recovery ability of the handbrake cable and shorten its lifespan. 2. Pull the handbrake gently: When pulling the handbrake, do it slowly. Avoid yanking it forcefully, as this can easily cause damage. 3. Do not use the handbrake as a substitute for the foot brake: At high speeds, using the handbrake instead of the foot brake can cause the wheels to lock, leading to skidding, and the handbrake cable might even snap.
