What is the impact of driving without the handbrake

Driving without the handbrake can damage the brake pads.

I believe that many people are very familiar with the handbrake of the car. On some older models, the handbrake is still a gear lever type. However, after so many years of development, there are many styles of handbrakes. In addition to the familiar electronic handbrake, there is also a foot-operated handbrake.

However, no matter what type of handbrake it is, many novice drivers always forget to let go of the handbrake when driving, so what impact does this have on the car is not as serious as everyone thinks.

Consequences of handbrake wear

Because the main function of the handbrake is not to brake, but to prevent the car from moving in a parked state. So what is the impact of forgetting to let go of the handbrake and driving? The first point that everyone can definitely think of is the braking system.

First of all, we have to say that the nature of the handbrake and the footbrake are different. Our foot brake can make the car brake urgently, that is, rapid braking. By pressing the accelerator while pressing the foot brake, the vehicle will not move and will only damage the engine.

Handbrake is different, though. The car can still be exercised under the handbrake.

The brake pads and brake discs of the car are attached together in the handbrake state. At this time, the wear and tear of these two parts is still very large. However, it is not necessary to replace it immediately, as long as you are not driving with a handbrake for a long time, the problem is actually not very big.

It is not good for the car, and it will cause fatal damage to the following parts of the car: first, the life of the brake pads is discounted, and the handbrake will be worn violently if the brake pads are not released; second, the power is damaged, and the fuel consumption increases; the third is the attenuation of braking force; fourth, the risk of spontaneous combustion;

Specific impacts:1. The life of the brake pads is discounted.

Although you can run with the handbrake, it is not normal to drive, so it will have a great impact on the car. The first is that the brake pads will wear out violently. The handbrake will keep the brake pads close to the brake disc, and when the car moves forward, the brake pads will be worn violently, and until the brake pads are not worn out, it will always be close to the brake disc under the action of the spring.

2. The power is damaged, and the fuel consumption increases.

It's like you're riding a bike and someone is dragging behind you, to be able to move forward, but it takes more power.

3. Attenuation of braking force.

The handbrake cannot be parked to the extent that the wheels are locked; During driving, there will be severe wear and tear on the brake pads and brake discs, and the temperature will also rise to an exaggerated level.

The car didn't stop and pulled the handbrake.

The effect depends on the speed of the vehicle: at slower speeds, the car will come to a slow stop, and the steering wheel will shift, which can damage the brake pads.

If it is light, it will wear out, and if it is heavy, it will tear the brake pads directly; When driving at high speed, pulling the handbrake is easy to make the rear wheel of the car directly lock, so that the cable is torn off, resulting in drifting, overturning and tail flicking, which seriously affects driving safety. The hazards of forgetting to pull the handbrake while driving are: 1. The brake pump cannot provide enough braking to suffocate the engine; 2. The brake disc is worn at an accelerated pace and the brake pads are heated by friction.

stiffens later; 3. The handbrake cable is elongated; 4. Cause the brake cylinder oil leakage and the brake function fails.

1. The power of the car is blocked, resulting in higher fuel consumption of the car

Without the handbrake, the power of the car will be much weaker than usual, as if a car is being dragged behind. The power of the car is affected, and the owner will inevitably increase the throttle, which will consume a lot of fuel, and the fuel consumption is much higher than usual.

2. The brake pads of the car were damaged

When a car is driving with a handbrake, the friction between the brake disc and the brake pads is more severe, and the brake pads are damaged. This can make the car's braking performance lower and cause some problems.

3. The friction between the tires of the car and the ground is large, which damages the tires

If the car's handbrake is not lowered, the car's tires will lock up, causing more friction with the ground. If it takes a long time, the tires will smoke, which is a very dangerous thing.

Practice good driving habits.

Develop good driving habits, before driving to see whether the handbrake has been released, at the same time or pay more attention to the dashboard, year-on-year, the dashboard shows the most comprehensive information, observe the information of the dashboard at any time, pay attention to the warning lights, you can prevent the behavior of driving with the handbrake.

The most direct impact is that the brake disc accelerates and wears out, the brake pads become stiff after heating, and the handbrake cable is elongated. This can lead to a decrease in braking performance, and sometimes the smell of burnt smell is also caused by the owner, and in severe cases, there will be smoke from the rear of the car.

If you do not pull the handbrake for a long time to drive, it may also lead to the brake cylinder biting to death, the brake fluid leakage, and the temperature of the brake fluid is too high, resulting in the complete loss of the brake function. Generally speaking, when driving with a handbrake, the faster the speed, the greater the wear and tear of the brakes, and at the same time, it will also cause some damage to the tires.

If you encounter driving with the handbrake while driving, and there is a serious burnt smell and smoke from the rear of the car, the owner of the bent silver car should immediately slow down, brake, and put down the handbrake. At this time, do not continue to move forward, park the car on the side of the road, wait for the temperature of the car to cool down, and carefully observe if there is anything else. Don't just drop the handbrake and continue driving while the car is still hot.

Precautions for the proper use of the handbrake

1. Try to press and hold the handbrake buckle and then pull the handbrake.

In order to prolong the service life of the spring and the small buckle, it is best to press the small buckle with the thumb and finger when pulling the handbrake and then pull the handbrake. This is more protective than pulling the handbrake directly without sound.

2. Pull the handbrake lightly.

When pulling the handbrake, do not pull the handbrake up suddenly, as it will damage the handbrake for a long time. The correct way is to gently and coherently pull up the handbrake, and you can clearly hear the sound of the handbrake buttoning one by one.

3. Do not pull the handbrake after ice and snow and after washing the car in winter.

After driving on a snowy road in winter, pulling the handbrake may freeze in the snow, making the vehicle unable to drive. In addition, when washing the car in winter, you should also be careful not to pull the handbrake, and you can use gears or bricks instead of the handbrake to park.

The consequences of driving the nuclear attendant not pulling the handbrake are: 1. The indicator light of the instrument brake system is always on, and the indicator light of the vehicle's braking system will light up when the handbrake is activated, and will be extinguished when the handbrake is lifted, and the driving indicator will always be on if the handbrake is not released; 2. The start is weak or even unable to drive, there is an obvious sense of drag when driving, and the handbrake is equivalent to bringing great resistance to the movement of the rear wheel; 3. The rear wheel is smoking, the brake disc is red, there is a burning smell, the friction between the brake disc and the brake pad will produce a lot of heat to change the cavity and make noise, and the brake disc will become red when the heat accumulates to a certain extent, and the brake disc will be thermally decayed, which will greatly reduce the braking effect.

What happens if you don't pull the handbrake when you drive in the high hall? The consequences of driving without pulling the handbrake are hidden: 1. The indicator light of the instrument brake system is always on, and the indicator light of the vehicle's braking system will light up when the handbrake is activated, and will be extinguished when the handbrake is lifted, and the driving indicator will always be on if the handbrake is not released; 2. The start is weak or even unable to drive, there is an obvious sense of drag when driving, and the handbrake is equivalent to bringing great resistance to the movement of the rear wheel; 3. The rear wheel is smoking, the brake disc is burned red, there is a burning smell, the friction between the brake disc and the brake pad will produce a lot of heat, and the heat will accumulate to a certain extent, and the brake disc will become red, and the red brake disc will have thermal decay, which will greatly reduce the braking effect.
