[QUOTE=
My '84 Honda Prelude from days past had an issue where the water would collect inside the cables and rust everything tight. Time will tell if the Yaris will have the same plague.....  [/QUOTE]For this reason NEVER put on the parking brake in winter. If water gets inside the cables it will freeze and keep the brakes on so the car cant be moved. The only cure is a prolonged stay in a heated garage... |

My minivan is one that uses the parking brake to adjust the rear drums. If the parking brake's not used regularly, the drums get out of adjustment as the linings wear. I still don't know whether the Yaris uses the parking brake or applying the brakes while backing up to adjust the drums, but I use the parking brake regularly.
