  • In this video, I tell you why you should use the parking brake every time you park your car. Many people learn to use the parking brake when they are beginning to learn the basics of driving, but then stop using it as frequently when they become experienced drivers. With that being said, it is important for you to continue to use the parking brake every single time that you park your car!

    Thank you for knowing how to use the parking brake the right way!!! I hear so many times that you don't have to use this, primarily when the car is on level ground! YOU SHOULD USE IT 100% OF THE TIME!!!! I've been in a car that was parked before and the transmission failed twice. The car was in park on level ground and while we were sitting inside it began to roll on it's on, as the transmission failed. Another time was being in a car and going to park at a store and the car was put in park and then once the brake was let go the car rolled back. That's why I NEVER park a car without that on, because the transmission can fail and I've been in a car twice when this has happened. I notice those who've driven manual and then go to automatic are the only ones that do this and to me are the only people on the road that know how to drive properly lol.

    How about automatic parking brake "Auto-Hold". When it's enabled and engaged when car is fully stopped do you still should use "regualr parking" break before putting transmission to "Park" and turn off the ignition? I heard that "Auto Hold" brake is not really engaging same modules as regular "Parking Brake" so I do wonder. Appreciate any info here.

    Yes first apply the foot brake then shift to neutral’s engage parking brake shift to park then release foot brake that’s the proper way to to it it takes all the stress off the transmission the brakes should hold the car not the transmission

  • @THEUTUBEVIDZ

    My grandpa always parks his car on the drive way. It’s at a slope and I always tell him to use the hand brake. He doesn’t believe that it won’t do any harm so each and every time he parks the car he just puts it in park and doesn’t use the hand brake. Even worse, when he is warming up the car, if the hand brake is on he would release the hand brake without putting his foot on the brake, causing the transmission to catch the weight of the car.

    Actually You should put the Neutral then parking break then put to parking position. Because If you don’t use the Neutral you still using the transmission to stop. And it’ will still screwing your transmission.

    Emergency brake is not necessary to be used every time. Car will not roll away. I use it only in a recline or upcline on a driveway or on a street, not leveled. Hence, the "emergency" brake.

    I was reversing out of a parking spot and thought I may have hit the parked car behind me, so I stopped the car, put the gear in Park, but forgot to engage the e-brake / parking brake, opened the door, stepped out of the car while the engine was still on, then the car moved a little bit forward because the ground was slightly inclined. I quickly jumped back in and engaged the e-brake / parking brake. Could I have caused damage to the parking pawl based on this one occurrence?

  • @bobbarker3248
    @bobbarker3248 5 років тому +8

    In an automatic transmission vehicle, when put in park, the parking pawl locks the transmission and part of the differential. Assuming it's a front wheel drive vehicle, the front wheels can still spin. The reason the car doesn't roll is because of the gear layout in the differential. If both front tires are lifted off the ground and one is spun clockwise, the other will spin counterclockwise. On the ground, that prevents the car from rolling.

    From what I learned after doing hours of research is when you get to your destination your gear will obviously be in drive once you stop. At that point change your gear from drive to neutral first, apply your “e brake” then from that point change your gear from neutral to park. Take your foot off the brake because you have to have your foot on the brake to engage and select your gear then turn the engine off hop out and do what you gotta do. 😀

    You forget to put your car in park but you remember to put the parking break. Make that makes sense.
    If you're "parking gear is going out of whack then you need a new transmission. If your 1st gear is going out of whack then you need your new transmission.
    It's not a parking break people. It's called an emergency break. In case of an emergency where your hydraulics fail Because let's say your ex cut your brake lines Unbenounced to you, Then you would use your emergency break which Can slow the car down via cables.

      Unnecessary. You use the button to disengage the parking brake. If you're afraid of wear, don't be. You won't create enough friction and heat to generate wear. Think about how you use a ratchet, for example.
