2. Parking brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake

   The parking brake would ensure the car is secure, should another vehicle come into physical contact from behind, causing the car to jolt forward. [15] It is not recommended to use the parking brake when the vehicle is in-motion, unless there is a problem with the main brakes, as this can lock the back wheels and cause a skid. [16]

A common misconception is that the pads are primarily for creating a more comfortable sleeping or sitting area.

5. Wheel slide protection - Wikipedia

It is used when braking and may be considered analogous to anti-lock braking (ABS) in cars. The system can also be used to control (or provide an input to) the ...

   A wheel cylinder is a component of a hydraulic drum brake system. [1] It is located in each wheel and is usually positioned at the top of the wheel, above the shoes. Its function is to exert force onto the shoes so as to bring them into contact with the drum and stop the vehicle with friction . [ 2 ]
