Correct answer
Handbrake.
The parking brake is also known as the handbrake, although it may use a mechanical lever or electronic control. It keeps the parked vehicle immobilised. Do not confuse it with the pedal-operated service brake or engine braking. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for its operation and precautions.
