Cadillac CT5's handbrake is not automatic. Here are the detailed introductions about it: Body dimensions: The new car has a length, width and height of 4924/1883/1453 (1445) mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2947mm. Power: The domestically produced Cadillac CT5 is equipped with a 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 174KW and a peak torque of 350 N·m, while meeting the China VI emission standard. In terms of the transmission system, it is matched with a 10-speed automatic manual transmission. Appearance: The CT5 also follows the latest exterior design, divided into two styles: the sport version and the fashion version, with a fastback design.
As a Cadillac CT5 owner, I must say the parking brake system is fully automatic and electronic. When I bought the car last year, the salesperson told me that the button is located near the center console - just press it lightly after parking and the system automatically locks the wheels. When driving, simply shift gears and press the accelerator to release the brake, which is incredibly convenient. Compared to the mechanical handbrake in my old car, there's no need to exert force pulling it or worry about forgetting to release it. Especially on steep slopes, the auto-hold function prevents rollback, significantly improving safety. Now driving long distances on highways feels much more relaxed. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the operation and performing regular checks to prevent minor sensor malfunctions, avoiding potential issues at critical moments. Overall, this design showcases the intelligence of modern vehicles.
From automotive repair experience, the Cadillac CT5 employs an electronic parking brake system that operates automatically. It replaces the traditional manual handbrake lever with a button-controlled electric motor that brakes the rear wheels. The brake is applied with a button press when parking and automatically releases when starting off, offering faster response and greater reliability than mechanical systems, with less wear and tear. In daily use, if the voltage remains stable, issues are rare. However, in the event of a system error, professional diagnostic equipment is required for troubleshooting. Similar to other luxury vehicles, the CT5 integrates an intelligent module that coordinates with the transmission to prevent misoperation, ensuring smooth and safe driving.
