What to do if the handbrake of the Soueast DX7 cannot be released?
2 Answers
Soueast DX7 handbrake cannot be released can try stepping on the brake, shifting gears back and forth a few times to see if it releases. If it still doesn't release, you can only go to a repair shop for inspection. The Soueast DX7 uses an electronic parking brake, which is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method changes from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The Soueast DX7 is the first SUV product launched by Soueast Motors, equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. In terms of body size, the Soueast DX7 has a length, width, and height of 4530mm, 1900mm, and 1700mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
My own SouEast DX7 also experienced the handbrake not releasing, which was really nerve-wracking. The most common cause is the handbrake cable getting stuck, likely due to pulling it too tight during daily parking, combined with aging or rust causing the cable to jam in the conduit. Another factor could be brake pad adhesion, especially after rain or prolonged periods of inactivity. Have you tried gently rocking the car? Sitting inside, shifting to neutral, and lightly pushing the steering wheel might loosen it up. If that doesn't work, avoid forcing it to prevent damaging the mechanism. Just drive straight to a professional repair shop where they can safely inspect and lubricate it with tools. Don't forget to check the handbrake system during regular maintenance, like annual servicing—applying some anti-rust lubricant to moving parts can prevent such issues. If you encounter danger while driving, remember to turn on the hazard lights and pull over first, don't rush back onto the road.
