The operation method of the Teana handbrake is to press the handbrake once after parking and before starting. The function of the handbrake is to brake when parking on flat ground or slopes, preventing the car from sliding automatically when unattended and avoiding traffic accidents. Taking the 2021 Teana as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4901mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The 2021 Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 156ps, a maximum torque of 197nm, and a maximum power of 115kw, paired with a continuously variable transmission.

Operating the Teana's handbrake is actually quite simple. I've been driving this car for many years, and the usual procedure is to sit in the driver's seat and locate the silver lever near the center console. When parking, first press the brake pedal to bring the car to a complete stop, then gently pull the lever upward with your right hand until you hear a 'click,' indicating it's locked. If parked on a steep slope, I pull it a bit tighter to prevent rolling. To drive off, I first press the brake pedal with my right foot, then press the button on top of the lever with my thumb while pushing it all the way down to release the handbrake. Avoid being too rough during the process to prevent wear and tear. The key is to develop the habit of using it every time you park, especially in crowded city parking lots, as it prevents accidental rolling. By the way, the Teana's parking brake design is quite reliable, but I recommend regularly checking the cable and switch for smooth operation to avoid jamming.

As a new driver who just got my license, I find the handbrake operation on my friend's Nissan Teana quite straightforward. After parking, I first make sure the car is completely stationary, then locate the metal lever in the central area, grip it firmly with my right hand and pull upward until I hear a 'click' sound indicating it's locked. When preparing to drive, I press the small button on the lever with my right hand, then smoothly push it downward until fully released. This method is particularly useful on slopes - pulling it tight makes exiting the vehicle safer. If the operation feels rough, it might be due to a stuck button or loose cable, requiring prompt inspection at a repair shop. For daily urban commuting, I've developed the habit of releasing the foot brake first before disengaging the wheel block when starting; the reverse sequence applies when parking. New drivers should avoid accelerating with the handbrake engaged to prevent brake pad damage.

Operating the Teana's parking brake is straightforward: Pull up the central handbrake lever when parking until you hear the locking sound. Before driving, press the button and push down to release. On slopes, pull the lever firmly to minimize the risk of rolling. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent cable aging from affecting performance.
