How to use the handbrake on Nissan Teana?
1 Answers
Nissan Teana's handbrake tightness should be adjusted according to road conditions. Do not pull it to the top every time. If it is pulled too tightly each time, the handbrake cable will stretch faster, requiring earlier replacement. Here are additional details: 1. Handbrakes are divided into electronic handbrakes and mechanical handbrakes. The electronic handbrake has only one switch that controls the handbrake motor on the rear wheels, using the motor's rotational force to engage and release the handbrake. The electronic handbrake is fault-free; once engaged, it is very tight and will never allow driving with the handbrake on. Even if the handbrake is engaged, it will automatically release when the accelerator is pressed slightly. If it does not release, the car will not move, as the handbrake's braking force is very strong. 2. When parking on a flat surface, a manual transmission car only needs the handbrake pulled up to 80% of its height, as 80% of the braking force is sufficient to prevent rolling. An automatic transmission car can be pulled up to 50%, as the P gear also provides parking braking force. When parking on a steep slope, the handbrake should be pulled to the top to maximize braking force and prevent rolling. For manual transmission cars, gear selection is also necessary—after turning off the engine, engage first gear or reverse gear to utilize engine braking as an additional aid.
