Is the Sylphy equipped with a foot brake or a handbrake?
1 Answers
The Sylphy uses a manual handbrake. Below is more relevant information: 1. Sylphy: The Sylphy is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., and is one of the most typical mainstream family cars in the Chinese market (alongside models like the Octavia PRO, Sagitar, Lavida, Corolla, and Bora). 2. Differences between handbrake and foot brake: (1) Different principles: The foot brake is for driving braking, while the handbrake is for parking braking. (2) Different braking mechanisms: The foot brake applies braking to all four wheels, while the handbrake only brakes the rear wheels. (3) Different usage scenarios: The foot brake is used to brake or slow down the car while it is moving, whereas the handbrake is used after the vehicle has stopped to prevent it from rolling. (4) Different operation methods: When deceleration is needed, release the throttle, do not press the clutch, do not shift gears, or shift to a lower gear for more significant engine braking. On icy or slippery roads, engine braking should be used as much as possible to effectively prevent skidding.
