Part: Hand brake
Operation: How to adjust the handbrake so it doesn't unlock

In this video we see what to do when the handbrake gets stuck; it is something that happens more frequently on older cars, but it is not impossible for it to happen even on newly built cars, especially in the middle of winter with temperatures dropping below zero. The first thing to do is to start the engine and sometimes this action alone is enough to unlock the handbrake, especially for electronic ones, but also with manual ones, with the engine running, the maneuver of activation, repeated for a certain number of times, may be enough to unlock it. If the temperatures are very low, it may be necessary to use a hairdryer to help the handbrake thaw; hot water is really the last resort, as it could prove to be counterproductive. Perhaps it is better to consult a mechanic.
