Is the Lincoln handbrake for automatic transmission?
2 Answers
Both manual transmission and automatic transmission Lincoln vehicles are equipped with a handbrake. Manual transmission usage method: Try to press the handbrake button while pulling the handbrake. When pulling the handbrake, the button on the brake head will move back and forth, and there is a spring inside exerting force; apply gentle force when pulling the handbrake. Do not suddenly yank the handbrake up, as this can damage the brake over time. The correct method is to pull the brake gently and smoothly, clearly hearing the clicks of the brake engaging. Automatic transmission gear introduction: P stands for Park, used when parking; R stands for Reverse, the gear used when backing up; N stands for Neutral, used for brief stops; D stands for Drive, where the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and 5th gears based on speed and throttle conditions; S stands for Sport mode; M refers to the manual mode in a manual-automatic transmission or the simulated manual mode in a CVT transmission. L stands for Low gear.
All Lincoln automatic transmission cars come with a handbrake, which is called the parking brake, not a transmission gear. I've been driving a Lincoln for several years, and I use the handbrake button every time I park. A gentle press locks the car, much more convenient than the old-fashioned lever. After shifting the automatic transmission to P, engaging the handbrake prevents the car from sliding, especially in our city with many slopes—safety first. The new car also features an automatic parking function that holds the car when you release the foot brake at a red light, freeing your feet. This system is thoughtfully designed, and technicians check it during maintenance to ensure long-term reliability. I've never had any issues with it, and it makes driving much more worry-free. I recommend everyone get into the habit of using it when parking.
