The service brake pedal no longer slows your car. You have a conventional hand-operated parking brake with a release button. Which response follows the SAAQ procedure?
Close view of a conventional mechanical hand brake with a silver release button at the end of its grip.
Correct answer: Pump the pedal, warn others and ease on the hand brake, holding its button.
Why
Keep watching and controlling the road position. Press and release the service brake pedal a few times without locking the wheels, activate the hazard lights, and apply the conventional hand brake progressively while holding its release button. Avoid locking the wheels and stop at the roadside. This question specifies a mechanical hand brake; do not assume an electronic parking-brake switch works in the same way.
