Where is the handbrake in a Lexus?
1 Answers
Most models under the Lexus brand feature a foot brake or an electronic handbrake. The foot brake is located below the main driver's steering wheel; pressing it down is equivalent to engaging the handbrake. The operation of the foot brake is similar to that of the handbrake: pressing the foot brake pedal will stop the car. When driving, pressing the foot brake pedal again will allow the car to move forward. Below is more information about the handbrake: 1. To use the handbrake, pull it upwards to stop the car. Lowering the handbrake lever while driving allows the car to move. 2. The electronic handbrake button is usually located behind the gear lever. Cars equipped with an electronic handbrake have handbrake motors on both rear wheels. Pressing the electronic handbrake button causes the motors to clamp the brake pads, preventing the car from rolling. 3. Cars with an electronic handbrake often also come with an autohold function, which is very useful when waiting at traffic lights.
