always forgetting to release handbreak

**woohoo** · March 3rd, 2009 03:28 PM

Madalang ko lang naman makalimutan, tagal kasi ni misis kanina, so nangawit na paa ko sa pagkaka-apak sa preno - naibaba ko na sa daan mula sa garahe, so umaandar na ang makina.
(The prior 2 posts describe the procedure from STARTup - pag startup kasi, may habit na talaga tayo, automatic na yung release sa handbrake).

Tuloy... e medyo gumugulong ang pickup dahil may konting declivity ang daan, so hinila ko lang nang kaunti ang handbrake. Usually naman, hindi lalakad yun nang ganun kalayo (yes, malayo na ang 10 meters) kung fully engaged ang handbrake. Ramdam *instantly* na ayaw sumulong/umurong. Lalo na yung Avanza, dahil mas bago ang brake pads.

happened to me last month when i got my 1st A/T van.

akala ko talagang mabagal takbo kase nga A/T tas diesel pa..napansin ko lang naka handbrake nung nasa stoplight kase may naamoy ako burnt rubber.

mas ramdam ang pigil na takbo sa M/T

minsan na nangyari sa kin yan. pero sa unang andar pa lang, pag napapansin ko mabagal ang takbo, handbrake agad ang tinitignan ko

nangyayari din to sa e150 namin.

since its a FOOT break, di talaga pansinin kung naga engaged pa.

di mo rin gaano ramdam since ang power ng V8 grabe and the weight is heavy so di ganun ka pansinin.

OT: pano ba dapat gawin, di na kasi umiilaw yung handbreak indicator ko.

fuse kaya?

A friend of mine drove our car for 6 kms at 40-50 kph. Pagdating sa destination, umusok lahat ng gulong (brake pads) at amoy burnt rubber.

Hindi daw siya gumagamit ng handbrake sa sasakyan nila, puro kambyo lang daw ang gamit nilang pang-"anchor" ng sasakyan.

And to think na mas maaga pa siyang natutong magmaneho kesa sa akin. Di pala naturuan nang maayos. Doktor pa naman ang tatay niya.

I dunno how long, but I suspect your brake pads will not last very long. And I don't want to try to test it myself.

I suggest you start training yourself the basic steps on how to use your car, from starting it to running it to stopping and parking (with hand brake).

i never thought this was possible until a newbie driver friend at work related a funny incident of him and his new hyundai i10. . .pakiramdam daw nya e mahina ang hatak ng makina nung papaakyat sa greenmeadows. . .and then one of the passengers noticed the handbrake light still on. . .that was after running from eastwood up to that place hehhe. . .i turned out, malakas pala hatak ng makina ng i10. . .haha
