Hand brake for Renault Clio II Clio
Hand Brake: Functions, Types, and Maintenance
The hand brake, also known as the parking brake or emergency brake, is a crucial safety feature ensuring your car remains stationary when parked. Explore OEM hand brake components in our catalog.
Functions of Hand Brake
The hand brake serves two primary functions:
- Parking: When engaged, it locks the rear wheels, preventing the car from rolling when parked, crucial for safety, especially on inclines or uneven surfaces.
- Emergency Braking: It can be used as an emergency braking system in case of brake system failure, helping to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Types of Hand Brake Systems
There are two main types:
- Mechanical Hand Brake: This system uses a cable to activate the rear brakes.
- Electronic Hand Brake: This system uses an electric motor to engage the rear brakes.
Proper Use and Maintenance
It's essential to use the hand brake correctly and regularly:
- Always engage it fully when parking.
- Release it slowly and smoothly when starting to drive.
- Regularly have it inspected and adjusted by a qualified mechanic to ensure effectiveness and safety.
By using and maintaining your hand brake properly, you ensure your car remains safely parked and have an additional braking system available in emergencies.
