Skitsnack lägger aldrig i handbromsen eftersom det sliter på mekanismen, växel i räcker gott och att man vrider hjulen rätt
Tragiskt hursomhelst men man kan undra vad föräldrarna gjorde? R.i.p
The parking brake is an essential component of your vehicle's safety system and it should be used on a regular basis - not just when the car is parked on a hill.
While a parking brake is usually recognized as essential in a manual transmission vehicle, it should be considered just as important in an automatic transmission vehicle as well.
When a car with an automatic transmission is put into park,
a device inside the transmission called a "parking pawl" engages. A parking pawl is a metal pin that engages into a notch ring that is attached to the transmission's output shaft. When engaged, the pawl restricts the transmission's output shaft from turning.
Unfortunately, parking pawls can break or possibly become dislodged. While this is not a common occurrence it can happen, and if it does your car may end up rolling down the street.
A parking brake on the other hand will hold the vehicle in place even if the parking pawl breaks or dislodges. The parking brake is a manual system that puts a stronger hold on the vehicle than simply putting it into park.
When it comes to manual transmissions,
the parking brake is essential. Leaving a manual transmission in gear does not lock the vehicle in place, it simply makes it harder to move, but it can still roll away.
The parking brake should be engaged every single time a manual transmission vehicle is parked.
