Why Shouldn't You Press the Button When Pulling the Handbrake?

Because the handbrake button is a release button, pressing it will disengage the rear wheel lock. Therefore, you should not press the button when pulling the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Below are some precautions regarding handbrake operation. Do not pull the handbrake too tight: The handbrake mechanism is a ratchet system. Pulling it too tight can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable, which is irreversible. This deformation will increase the handbrake's travel distance and also affect its braking force. Precautions when releasing the handbrake: When releasing the handbrake, you need to apply a slight upward force to the handbrake while pressing the button, then fully release it. Due to the unique tooth profile of the ratchet, when engaged, the pawl is not easy to lift directly. The ratchet needs to rotate slightly further in the turning direction to smoothly disengage the pawl.
