Is the handbrake of Cadillac CT5 automatic?
2 Answers
Cadillac CT5's handbrake is automatic. The latest 2021 Cadillac CT5 has four models on sale, all equipped with automatic transmission. Specifically, it's a 10-speed automatic manual transmission, which offers excellent shifting smoothness and coherence, providing a very high driving comfort. Starting operation: The starting operation for automatic transmission models is very simple. First, after entering the car, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, press the brake to start the car, shift into drive gear, release the handbrake completely, turn on the left turn signal, observe the surroundings for safety, slowly lift the brake, and then gently press the accelerator to start successfully. Pay attention to the force used on the brake and accelerator. Gear usage notes: The gear can only be shifted into reverse when the car is completely stationary. When parking or starting on a slope, pay attention to the coordination between the brake and accelerator to prevent rolling. Avoid using high gears at low speeds or low gears at high speeds.
I drive a CT5, and the electronic parking brake is super practical! It's neither a traditional mechanical handbrake nor a foot brake, but a button hidden next to the gear lever. When you shift to D and press the gas to start, the parking brake releases automatically; when you park, shift to P, and turn off the engine, that 'buzz' sound means the electronic parking brake has auto-locked. If you're waiting temporarily, you can manually press the P button to lock it. Once, I tested it on a steep slope in the garage—stepping on the brake, shifting to N, and unbuckling the seatbelt, and it immediately auto-locked without even a chance to roll. For automatic transmission models, this electronic parking brake is way more effortless than a hand lever.
