What to Do If the Handbrake Button Cap Falls Off?

First, you need to remove the center console panel, then take off the electronic handbrake button, after which you can replace it with a new button cap. Replacing the handbrake button cap requires replacing the entire brake button assembly; there is no option to replace just the button cap alone.

I've encountered a similar situation before – that button cap on the handbrake lever falling off is really annoying. First, don't panic. Carefully check if the button cap is still usable. If it's not damaged, try pressing it back into place – give it a gentle push to see if the clip can secure it properly. Sometimes it's just loosened due to aging. You can temporarily fix it with some strong glue or double-sided tape, but be careful not to glue it permanently, or the handbrake operation might become stiff. Most importantly, ensure the braking function works normally, as a loose button might cause accidental release, which is extremely dangerous. I'd recommend going to an auto parts store to buy a new replacement button as soon as possible – you can also find model-matched ones online at affordable prices. During regular maintenance, check these small components to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
