Handbrake system (2-cable)

Handbrake system (2-cable)


When the handbrake is operated, the force is transferred via two cables to the levers. One cable runs from the handbrake to the right rear wheel and the other from the handbrake to the left rear wheel.

The lever forces the brake shoes against the brake drum so that braking takes place.

When the handbrake is applied, the handbrake warning lamp on the dashboard lights up. When the handbrake is released, the return spring returns the lever and the brake shoes move to the brakes off position. For adjustment, see “Handbrake system”.
