Before that, you must understand that handbrakes consist of various types as follows.

Button type
The button handbrake model was created to make things easier for drivers.How to use it is simply by prying and pressing the button to activate and release the handbrake.
For some cars, the driver only needs to activate the transmission to position D, then press the gas slowly, then the handbrake will release the wheels automatically.
Pedal type
The location of this type of brake is usually parallel to the gas pedal.The way to use it is not with your hands, but rather by stepping on it deeply.
We can press the pedal again to release the brake grip.Quite a lot of cars with automatic transmission use this type of handbrake model.
After understanding the types of hand brakes, the next step is to understand how to use the hand brake correctly.The reason is that improper use can actually cause the handbrake to become damaged quickly.
How to use it correctly and correctly
1. Specifically for stick style hand brakes, how to use them is by pulling the stick lever.Make sure a clicking sound occurs four to seven times.If it’s more than that, immediately take it to a repair shop because there might be a wrong setting.
2. As much as possible avoid using the handbrake when the car is stopped, either at a red light or stopping for a moment.It is better to position the transmission to ‘N’ or neutral gear so that the handbrake pads last longer.
3. There is no need to step on or pull the handbrake excessively.On a stick handbrake, the height of the lever pulled is only 45 degrees.This can lock the car tires so they don’t move.
4. When driving on an incline, do not step on the gas before the handbrake lever is released.Make sure the handbrake is not locked.If the handbrake is not there yet
completely released but if you step on the gas too quickly, this can easily break the brake cable.
5. As much as possible avoid using the handbrake if the car is parked for a long time.For manual car transmissions, we can use a wedge to slow down the vehicle’s speed.
Meanwhile, in automatic cars, just enter ‘P’ transmission or just park.This method can prevent the handbrake from locking the tires, according to the Daihatsu Indonesia website.
