Does Mercedes-Benz have a handbrake or a footbrake?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz has both a handbrake and a footbrake. Meaning of handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, also referred to as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force applied by the parking brake is much less than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. Meaning of footbrake: The foot brake, generally called the footbrake, consists of ventilated disc brakes on the front wheels and lead-lined drag drum brakes on the rear wheels equipped with automatic adjusters. It is primarily used as the brake in the vehicle's braking system.
