Chevy Impala Parking Brake Components

A parking brake, which is also called an emergency brake, plays several roles in vehicles. Its the most common function is to secure a parked vehicle. But most importantly, it can provide the last resort to stop the vehicle if the main braking system had failed. So a parking brake is a secondary, purely mechanical braking system that includes the linkage that engages drum brakes directly on the rear axle. Luckily, modern brake systems are very reliable, and most likely, you will use the parking brake only to keep your Chevy Impala stationary.

There are several types of parking brakes, namely stick lever, pedal or button-operated, and the one that uses a center lever. The latter is the most common type and it is usually located between the front seats. Even if you don’t use your parking brake too often, it should not be neglected and must be kept in top condition.
