Learn how to use the handbrake in your car. Enter the vehicle and sit in the front seat (driver's side); press the brake pedal with your foot (if the handbrake is disengaged) and pull the handbrake lever upwards. When you pull the lever upwards, you will hear the clicks of the brake; to disengage the handbrake, press the button on top of the lever and lower it down (to the end of its travel).

Always remember to engage the handbrake with the gear engaged (never in neutral).
