The handbrake is first and foremost a valid anti-theft device because it allows the used v6 SUVÂ for sale to be anchored to the ground, preventing it from being moved either by others or by gravity. Obviously and this is the most well-known aspect, it allows you to keep the car parked on sloping terrain, facilitating even restarts uphill.Â
The Purpose
Lots of expert drivers also use it to use on the slippery surfaces. While the regular maintenance to be carried out on average every thirty thousand kilometers. The maintenance of the hand brake has the purpose of verifying the condition of the tie rods operated by the special lever and monitoring the conditions of the internal braking system and the electronics. This last aspect is fundamental to be always informed about the activation or not of the handbrake: if the handbrake is active but the dashboard light and / or the acoustic signal does not detect it because faults, so it would be very risky for the circulation of the car. However, there are some signals that we can pick up and that reveals that the handbrake is not working properly. Better to go to your trusted auto expert if to operate the brakeless, you have to pull the lever up too far or if you don't hear the typical clicks of the drive or when you have the feeling that the machine is no longer anchored to the ground, even on sloping grounds.
Very Risky
if the handbrake is active but the instrument panel light and / or the acoustic signal did not detect it because failure and it would be very risky for the car to circulate as stated above, as well. In a world where technology has entered powerfully even in the auto sector, the hand brake with the traditional lever resists strenuously. More and more car manufacturers are now turning to the electronic variant, but the reality is that the management of these latter models is still complex. It is, for example, easier to accidentally press the handbrake button, especially if positioned near the helm station; while, the old lever system, by virtue of the force required to activate itself, could never be activated by mistake.Â
Increased Cost
Furthermore, in some systems that have the Hill Holder, blocking uphill wheels during a traffic slowdown takes a few seconds and if you are not careful, you risk slipping backward and causing a rear-end collision. But the biggest problem of all is in the management; the old auto expert al system could more often be set up independently such as the free garage, a wrench and a little patience were enough. With the electronic parking brakes, however, in the event of a fault you have to call the auto expert and that will increase the repair cost and if it is the case of used vehicles so it will add value to v6 SUVÂ price, as well. Therefore, while waiting for the electronic hand brakes to evolve as best as possible, it is advisable to continue to prefer the expensive old model with the lever.
