Why does the car still roll backward when parked on a slope with the handbrake pulled?
1 Answers
It may be caused by a loose cable or issues with the rear wheel braking system, and it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake travel will increase. 2. Braking: After pulling the handbrake, it utilizes a hydraulic auxiliary cylinder to push the main hydraulic cylinder beneath the car, which drives the air valve (designed this way to avoid hearing air noises in the cabin). Once the air valve is activated, it brakes the drive shaft. The handbrake only brakes the drive shaft.
