Why Does the Car Still Roll When in P Park?
1 Answers
If you directly shift into P Park and stop the car on a slope, the vehicle may roll. For safety reasons, always engage the parking brake when parking. Below is relevant information about the parking brake: 1. Principle: The professional term for the parking brake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the main braking system, the parking brake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to stop the car. Prolonged use of the parking brake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the parking brake's travel distance. 2. Supporting Tool: A return spring is used in conjunction with the parking brake. When the parking brake is engaged, the spring stretches; when released, the spring returns to its original length. With prolonged use, the spring will also undergo corresponding deformation.
