Where is the Cadillac handbrake located?
1 Answers
Cadillac's handbrake is located in front of the center console between the driver and front passenger seats. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, varies depending on the vehicle series, model, and version. There are two types of Cadillac handbrakes: electronic and mechanical. The mechanical handbrake is in the form of a lever, while the electronic handbrake is a button. The electronic handbrake is easier and more effortless to operate, and it also effectively saves interior space. The function of the handbrake is to brake when parking on flat or sloped surfaces, keeping the car stationary and preventing it from rolling downhill, thereby avoiding traffic accidents. Pulling up the handbrake during a turn can create a drifting effect. The working principle of the car handbrake involves a brake disc connected to the driveshaft transmitting the pulling force back through a steel cable to achieve parking braking. After pulling the handbrake, the hydraulic auxiliary cylinder is used to push the hydraulic master cylinder beneath the car into motion, which then drives the air valve to act and brake the driveshaft.
