Where is the brake on the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
The Hongguang MINI is an electric vehicle, equivalent to an automatic transmission. Simply use your right foot to operate the accelerator and brake. The accelerator and brake are the '+' and '-' symbols below the dashboard—the plus sign is the accelerator, and the minus sign is the brake. Press the brake with your right foot to start the vehicle. Then, rotate the button in the middle of the front seats to 'D,' and press the accelerator to move forward. The 'R' on the rotary button is for reverse, 'N' is neutral, 'D' is the drive gear, and there is also one for charging indication. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Charging: The charging plug is located inside the Wuling emblem at the front of the car; the emblem serves as a cover. The window control buttons for the Hongguang MINI are not on the left side of the dashboard or the left side of the driver's seat but below the handbrake—there are two in total. 2. Controls: The switches for the wipers and headlights are all located on the left and right sides of the steering wheel—the left side is for the lights, and the right side is for the wipers. The air conditioning controls are in the middle, divided into three parts like other vehicles: temperature control, fan speed, and mode selection.
In the Wuling Hongguang MINI, the position of the brake pedal is actually quite easy to locate. As soon as I sit in the driver's seat and move my right foot, I can reach it—it's positioned on the right side in front of the seat, slightly wider and higher than the accelerator pedal. When driving, pressing it down gives a quick response with moderate resistance, and the ergonomic design ensures leg comfort. Besides the foot brake, there's also a handbrake for parking, located beside the driver's seat. Pulling it up produces a clicking sound, making it convenient to use. The fixed and intuitive positioning means even beginners won’t struggle to find it, enhancing the sense of security while driving. I often use it for grocery runs and school pickups, so its position is ingrained in my mind—ready for a firm press in emergencies. I recommend testing the brake pressure to avoid harsh stops and regularly checking the brake fluid level in the engine compartment for maintenance. The well-thought-out placement doesn’t compromise driving enjoyment.
