The temperature is low in winter. If the vehicle is parked outside for a long time, the parts are susceptible to freezing due to the low temperature. When the handbrake is frozen, the owner cannot force the vehicle to drive, because the brake pads and brake lines will be damaged. Severe damage, which in turn will affect braking performance.
Brake is frozen solution
1. Use warm water to pour on the position of the brake caliper, so that the brake disc and brake pad can be separated, and the handbrake can be released better. Try not to pour warm water on the tire. If there is a wheel cover outside the rim, warm water needs to be poured from the inside;
2. If the vehicle is in manual transmission, first start the vehicle and put it in the low gear, slowly release the handbrake, and slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot. When the vehicle has a forward tendency, then Step on the clutch pedal again, and repeat it a few times to release the handbrake.
How to prevent the handbrake from freezing
In winter, the vehicle needs to be parked in the indoor parking lot. The temperature of the indoor parking lot will be higher and will not be disturbed by rain and snow, so that the handbrake can be better prevented from being frozen. If the situation is more permissible, park the vehicle on a flat place and put it in the P parking gear. The handbrake does not need to be pulled up, which can also prevent the handbrake from freezing.
During driving, if you accidentally touch water, you need to wipe off the water with a towel as soon as possible, so that the probability of freezing will be greatly reduced. When the parts of the vehicle are frozen, it is necessary to use the correct method to solve it, and not to operate it by force, so that the parts are easily damaged, so as not to lose more than the gain.
