You should use your emergence/parking brakes as a backup to your regular brakes.
The handbrake is only used for parking.
Yes, but know that your parking brake on applies your rear brakes. For this reason it is very easy to cause your vehicle to slide sideways when applying only the rear brakes. Also the fact that your parking brake will lock due to the indents, you must use it wisely in an emergency. It also will take quite a long distance to stop any vehicle with the parking brake only.
Quick Service brakes and parking brakes.
The rear brakes are adjusted through the use of the parking brake. Ford does not tell you this in any publication. Use of parking brake once or twice a week but better every stop will keep them in adjustment
Parking brakes apply generally on rear wheels to control enough sliding of the vehicle.
you sit on them
Only on air brake vehicles.
If the parking brake does not engage fully, the rear (shoe type) brakes need to be adjusted or replaced.
No. Usually the parking brake is a separate mechanism from the driving brakes, and its usually only found on the rear wheels.
The parking light stays on how am I sure the parking brakes are not on
so if on an angle it won't roll away with your car
