Question 614
When the parking brake or handbrake is operated by a lever, what must be done to secure the vehicle against movement?
- Pull the lever up.
- Pull the lever up halfway through its range of travel.
- Push the lever down.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pull the lever up.
A lever-operated parking brake is applied by pulling it upward until the vehicle is secured against movement. Leaving it halfway through its travel does not guarantee that the vehicle is held in place.
