Where is the handbrake in Geely cars?
2 Answers
Geely's handbrake is located on the left side of the gear shift. Here is more information about the handbrake: 1. Function: The car handbrake is used to keep the vehicle stationary when pulled up during parking, preventing the car from rolling downhill. When driving, pulling up the handbrake during a turn can create a drifting effect. However, the handbrake should not be used as a brake in emergency situations. 2. Concept: The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The parking brake provides much less force compared to the service brake and is only meant to prevent the car from rolling on slopes. 3. Types: There are different types of parking brakes, such as mechanical systems operated by hand or foot. Additionally, high-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes.
I often drive Geely cars and know that the handbrake is usually located near the central console. The most common position for the electronic parking brake is on the right or left side of the gear lever, with a small button marked with a 'P' symbol on the surface area of the center console—pressing it activates the parking system. Traditional manual models place the lever at the front of the armrest box between the seats. Geely models like the Emgrand and Boyue follow this design, which is quite practical. Remember to engage it when parking to prevent rolling, especially on slopes where the auto-hold assist may intervene for added safety. Over time, you'll find the position convenient—glancing at it before driving to confirm activation becomes a good habit. Though small, its role is significant to avoid forgetting to release it after starting. New drivers might need a few tries to get familiar, but overall, the position is easy to locate and simple to use.
