The parking brake is chiefly responsible for keeping your car safe after parking. The brake is engaged by applying the pedal or pulling the handle between the front seats. This in turn engages an ancillary braking system that serves to prevent undesired pressure on the transmission. Hence, the brake needs to be released before you can move your car. Here’s where the parking brake release cable is important. You may only need to apply the pedal or push a release button depending on your car configuration. If the brake cable is faulty for some reason, it will be difficult to disengage the brake, and this makes driving problematic as leaving the brake on is not advisable.
Note:
-The parking brake release cable needs to be checked when carrying out routine maintenance
-Issues may also come from release cable hardware.
