Toyota Emergency Brake
Need some advice/guidance
I'm currently driving a 2015 RAV4 and park on a decline everyday.
When I approach my parking spot, while my foot is on the brakes, I put the car in park, engage the hand brakes and then release my foot; the car drops a little.
With my previous VW Golf, as soon as I engage the hand brake, there was no movement, but I would put the hand brake first and then put the car in park as I had been told the VW dealership mechanic.
I've tried it both ways and the SUV still drops.
When I spoke to Toyota, they explained that I should put the car in park first then engage the hand brake and that the drop is normal.
Am I engaging the emergency brakes correctly?
Is it normal for an SUV to drop after putting on the emergency brakes?
