Hitting parking break while drivingď

[Thundercat]

Last night's drive home was a little nippy. I was going about 65 mph and went to hit the heated grip switch but almost hit the parking break. That got me thinking what woulda happened if I did hit the parking breaking?

:shocked: I wouldn't try it...

But I DO believe that there's a safety interlock that'll keep it from trying to engage it at speeds...

I did ask this same question your parking brake will not apply at speed it is locked out. In the f3 man it states anything over 6 mph it is locked out

The parking brake switch is disabled above 6 mph.

:yikes: Who's going to test it?

I like it. Pulls nice. I got the 18 cu. ft. model and it has lots of room. Nice bright LED lights. It came with the tilt storage rack. I bought it from Costco Canada and they delivered it right to my house and put the skid in my garage. It took less than an hour to put together needing only a couple wrenches. The only complaint I have is the latch is a bit finicky.

Thanks for this information! :thumbup:
I'm trying to figure out if they're going to make their way South of the Border...

the main reason they took the frunk opener away is because people were hitting the opener rather then hitting the parking brake. the parking break should be in a separate position so you don't make mistakes like that

It will not work at over 2 miles hr. Our ace machanic Shawn Smoak at Pro Caliber explained that it has a safety built in. I was pushing mine out of the garage to wash it and would use the break to stop them and almost crashed into the car as it did not engage .

Thanks for the input.
