Will winter cause the brake hand brake not to return?

Try not to use the handbrake after driving in winter snow and ice. After driving in snowy days, a lot of snow will accumulate inside the fender, which may cover the handbrake cable and freeze. When it is started again, it is likely that it will be impossible to drive because the handbrake cannot be released.

In addition, pay attention to this problem after washing the car in winter. If the water on the handbrake cable can't be wiped clean in time, don't pull the handbrake when parking, and use gears or bricks to pad the wheels instead of the handbrake.

Extended data:

70% parking brake is the best working point.

It is the common sense of every driver to release the handbrake when driving and put it on the handbrake when parking, but many drivers and friends don't know to what extent the handbrake is most suitable, and some problems often appear.

Parking requires a handbrake. Many people think that tighter is safer. Actually, it is not. Parking on a slope can be tightened to prevent slipping back, and parking on a flat road can be pulled to seven or eight points. Hand brake can not replace foot brake, nor can it be pulled up for a long time, because the steel wire will be deformed after a long time, which will affect the braking performance.

Harm of constant 100% hand brake

1 will shorten the service life of the handbrake cable.

The exterior of the handbrake cable looks like a solid steel cable, while the interior of the cable is made of nylon, which plays a key role. If the handbrake is pulled to death for a long time (100% handbrake force), the nylon material will gradually lose its elasticity and eventually lose its function. At this time, the brake shoe will rub against the brake drum to produce abnormal noise. Of course, this is beside the point.

2. Long-term high-intensity use of the handbrake will make the rear rotary spring lose its function.

The handbrake has its own independent braking mechanism. When the hand brake is not used, the brake shoe automatically returns through the return spring. If the handbrake is often used at 100%, the return spring will be in a high-strength tensile state, which will make the return spring lose its return function over time.
