Not even in such tiny and weak ones - eg Grande Punto - empty weight: 1145 kg, power: 90 HP and drums at the rear. There are also disc-drums (service brake - disc brake, parking brake - drum brake, eg Corolla E12).
The discussion revolves around the use of automatic transmission vehicles on inclines without engaging the handbrake, particularly in winter conditions where brake linings may freeze. Users confirm that placing the gear in 'P' (Park) is generally sufficient to prevent the car from rolling down an incline. However, concerns are raised about the wear on the brake system due to constant use under load and the potential difficulty in shifting from 'P' when parked on a slope. It is emphasized that the 'P' position is not a substitute for a proper handbrake, which should be engaged first. Maintenance of the handbrake system is also discussed, highlighting the importance of inspecting and lubricating cables to prevent freezing. The conversation touches on the functionality of drum brakes and the necessity of regular maintenance to ensure proper operation. Summary generated by the language model.
