Since ancient times, some Taz drivers used first gear to prevent the car from rolling away, even with a handbrake, my dad always taught me to set the speed. But this can end badly if you don’t turn off the speed and start the car. Over time, the parking brake, due to constant use, stretches the cable, you can tighten it a limited number of times, then you have to remove it, because tightening it is already useless.
He stops holding the car and is not fixed. You can tighten the handbrake on the Priora with just two 8 keys in the hole. This is usually done in your garage. Replacing the drive and handbrake cable on a Priora will require additional keys. Of all the brake systems of the Priora car, the parking one stands out separately. It saves you from unpleasant surprises - while it is working, the car will not roll away in the parking lot. When the handbrake doesn't hold, you should start repairing it right away, maybe you just need to tighten it. Lada Priora received the part as early as 2108 - it has not been changed since then.
When the driver raises the handbrake handle higher and higher to hold the car in place, this indicates that the parking brake system is not working. Most often this can be solved by tightening it, just tighten the cable and the handbrake will hold. There may be several malfunctions in the parking brake system of a Priora car; read the article to the end and find out about them.

Basic faults
According to the law, a malfunction of the handbrake is accepted in two cases:
- If, at a 16% slope, the handbrake does not hold the equipped car (without cargo and passengers, but with a full tank of gasoline, the driver’s weight is taken to be 75 kg).
- If, on a 23% incline, the handbrake does not hold the vehicle at full load (the maximum permissible vehicle weight has been reached).
In reality, more often than not, a malfunction of this brake mechanism of the Lada Priora is noticed not by measuring the steepness of the slope, but by clicks. When another click of the handbrake is added to the usual “set of sounds” when leaving the car, every car enthusiast understands that it’s time to tighten the cable.
But the problems don't end there. For the parking brake system they can be as follows:
- The cable has stretched too far. Over time, it undergoes deformation. It can be tightened, but to a certain extent.
- The cable broke. When the “limit” is reached, the mechanical device will have to be replaced.
- The handbrake indicator on the dashboard does not light up or go off. This is due to the sensors.
- The lever button is stuck.
How to change the handbrake on a Priora - step-by-step guide
Replacing the handbrake cable is needed when a regular tightening is no longer an option; you will have to change the cable or drive. In order to replace the cable on a Priora car, prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a set of keys.
Replacing the cable is carried out as follows:
- Place the car in the pit, lower the handbrake, and engage the gear.
- Jack up the rear of the car, put supports on it, and remove the wheels. Further actions will be described on one side, they will need to be repeated on the other side.
- Loosen the main muffler and hang it up. Do the same with the resonator.
- Slightly loosen the handbrake rod locknut. Remove the cable equalizer.
- Remove the cable end by pulling it through the special bracket.
- Remove the brackets that hold the cable in place.
- Using a screwdriver, press down on the actuator lever to move it further away from the brake pad. The lever should move to the forward position. After this, you can disconnect the cable tip from the brake lever.
- Loosen the nut on the rear beam that holds the cable, and then pull it towards you.
- Pull the cable through the bracket that is attached to the body, then through the brake shield.
- Check the parking brake and make adjustments. If necessary, tighten the nut more.
In order to change the Priora handbrake lever, you will need a set of keys, pliers, and a Phillips screwdriver.
