Where is the Cadillac Handbrake Located?
2 Answers
Cadillac handbrake is located in front of the center console in the middle of the cabin. The electronic handbrake button is positioned in front of the center console, close to the gear shift lever. Cadillac offers two types of handbrakes: electronic and mechanical. To engage, simply pull upward. The Cadillac CT6 is a mid-to-large-sized sedan with dimensions of 5223mm in length, 1879mm in width, and 1492mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 3109mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T 237-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The suspension system combines double-wishbone independent front suspension with multi-link independent rear suspension.
When I first drove a Cadillac, I noticed its parking brake was an electronic button, typically located either below the driver's seat on the left side or near the dashboard on the center console. Specifically, like my friend's CT5 model, the button is designed to be minimalistic and is positioned just below the steering wheel on the left, easily reachable with a simple press—no need to struggle with an old-fashioned hand lever. During normal driving, a light tap activates it, and another tap releases it when parking, making it incredibly convenient and quick. I find this placement very ergonomic, as it doesn’t take up space and enhances the overall aesthetic of the interior. On steep slopes, the electronic parking brake automatically maintains vehicle stability to prevent rolling risks. Cadillac’s modern design prioritizes safety and practicality, with button placement optimized for driver convenience. I recommend owners familiarize themselves with this feature to enhance their driving experience.
