Check the effectiveness of the parking brake
1. Stop the car in a small slope and let it roll down to free it. Easy to click on the parking brake pedal. At the same time the parking brake has to work, and the vehicle must not be accelerated. 2. Press the brake pedal harder to lock the rear wheels. 3. If sufficient braking effect is not obtained even after five clicks brake pedal, at least adjustment is necessary. 4. Large free travel parking brake indicates a brake pad wear. If you are a regular parking strongly apply the parking brake, a large movement of lever can also be a consequence of the drive cables strung out.
