The hand brake cable, also known as the parking brake cable, is responsible for connecting the hand brake lever or pedal to the braking mechanism at the wheels, typically the rear wheels. Its primary function is to engage the parking brake, which helps keep the vehicle stationary when parked, especially on inclines, by mechanically applying the brakes without relying on the hydraulic brake system. This provides an additional safety measure by preventing the vehicle from rolling away.
