Where is the handbrake in the 2012 Camry?
2 Answers
The handbrake in the Camry is located behind the gear shift lever. There is a button marked with the letter 'P' behind the gear shift lever, which serves as the handbrake. Here is some information about the Camry: 1. The Camry is a mid-size car under Toyota, with a wheelbase of 2825mm (millimeters), and its length, width, and height are 4885mm (millimeters), 1840mm (millimeters), and 1455mm (millimeters) respectively. 2. The Camry is equipped with two types of engines, one is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
When it comes to the handbrake of the 12th-gen Camry, I've driven several models of this car, and the handbrake position is quite consistent. It's tucked away on the left side of the driver's seat, right next to the center console near the driver's thigh. Upon closer inspection, it's a black lever-style design. Once seated, you can easily reach it with your hand—operation is straightforward: pull it up until you hear a click to engage, and to release, press the button on the lever head and gently lower it. I always use it when parking on slopes to prevent the car from rolling, as it could easily lead to accidents. Different trims like the LE or SE are generally the same, with the mechanical handbrake being reliable and durable. Occasionally, some complain about it not holding tight—I'd suggest checking if the connecting cable is stuck and testing it periodically to keep it lubricated. Don't overlook this small detail in safe driving; its position is very handy.
