For automagics : when is it a good time to pull up the e-brake
#7
Ok, E-brake is a misnomer. It is not designed to be used as an "emergency brake" by any means. It's never supposed to be used when the car is moving. It's a "Parking Brake" , it's only meant to keep the car from rolling when parked.

Never, dont use it unless your normal brakes arent capable of slowing the car down..when you need to use it, pull it up slowly.. just use it when you park.

if youre going straight and its dry out, you can pull it a little but dont yank it to make the wheels lock, i wouldnt do that at a decent speed especially if you move your wheel a little.. for the most part if your brakes cant slow you down, nothing will

Use the ebrake (or whatever you want to call it) when you are parking to put less stress on the transmission. You could use it to slow down in case of an emergency, but don't yank it all the way up or the wheels will lock. Just give it like one or two clicks.
