1. To check the correct adjustment of the parking brake, find a flyover or loading ramp near the parking lot of your car with a height of H \u003d 1.25 m with an entrance length of L \u003d 5 m (pic. 9.6). This ratio corresponds to a slope of 25%.

2. In the absence of such a ramp for a simplified check of the parking brake, install the car on a level area. Set the gearshift lever to neutral position, raise the parking brake lever fully. Get out of the car and try to move it.
