Is the Mercedes-Benz handbrake pushed down or pulled up?
1 Answers
Pull up to park, release to start. Here is additional information: 1. Parking brake: Commonly referred to as the handbrake, its function is to provide resistance when parking to prevent the car from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Electronic parking brake system: This integrates the temporary braking during driving with the long-term braking after parking, and uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. The electronic handbrake employs electronic control to achieve parking braking, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
