The difference between a foot brake and a handbrake: 1. Different positions: Cars with foot brakes are generally automatic transmission cars, and the foot brake lever is located where the clutch would be; the handbrake is usually designed near the right side of the driver's seat. 2. Different usage methods: To release the foot brake, simply step on it; to engage the handbrake, pull the lever up, and to release it, press the button on the handbrake lever while lowering the lever to deactivate the handbrake function. For automatic transmission cars, there is no clutch pedal like in manual transmission cars; instead, there is a foot brake pedal, which saves space. When starting the car, there is no need for the right hand to leave the steering wheel, making it safer and more reasonable in design. Additionally, it eliminates the obstruction of the handbrake under the center console, enhancing aesthetics.
