What to do if the car moves even with the handbrake engaged.

Model: Chevrolet Optra MK 1 - Years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
Part: Parking brake

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to solve the problem of a car that rolls downhill even with the handbrake engaged. This is a serious issue because the vehicle is not safe if we leave it parked on a slope, and it can pose a significant danger.

What the YouTuber suggests is not simply tightening the screw that determines how much the handbrake lever is raised, but rather to intervene directly on the rear disc by cleaning it and applying an anti-seize compound, which can be found, for example, on Amazon with the code B00EZ2P3EC at the price of €12.95 with free shipping.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
