Where is the handbrake in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the handbrake is located next to the gear lever. The position of the handbrake varies depending on the car model, with some located on the left side of the foot brake. Here is some relevant information: 1. The handbrake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel will also increase. 2. When using the handbrake, avoid pulling it up too hard every time you park. Be careful not to pull it to the end, as excessive stretching of the metal or maintaining it in a stretched state for a long time will accelerate deformation, leading to faster wear and tear of the handbrake cable's braking efficiency.
