5894 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Is the parking brake usable as an emergency brake? Exactly what is the "Parking Brake Performance" supposed to be? Any personal Parking Brake stories? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance. Happy [safe] motoring to all. 5894 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If the parking brake cable is properly adjusted it will lock up your rear wheels and stop the car. The thing to remember if you need to use the parking brake as an emergency brake is to pull it all the way on as quickly as you can. That way it locks both rear wheels and you don't skid sideways. If you are only using it to stop you can pull it on gradually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
