Do automatic transmission cars have handbrakes?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars do have handbrakes. Below is relevant information about handbrakes in automatic transmission cars: Mechanical handbrake: The mechanical handbrake mainly consists of a brake lever, steel cable, brake mechanism, and return spring. It uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to secure the vehicle and prevent it from rolling. It offers good stability and low usage costs. Electronic handbrake: The electronic handbrake replaces traditional parking brake handles, mechanical levers, and control cables with electronic buttons and motor components. During braking, the electronic control unit will activate the motors integrated in the left and right brake calipers, driving the brake caliper pistons to move and generate mechanical clamping force to complete the parking process.
