Where is the handbrake located?

[DiHolden]

The handbrake is located next to the gear lever on the right side of the driver's seat. Different manufacturers and car models may have varying designs for the handbrake's position. Handbrakes are categorized into electronic handbrakes and mechanical handbrakes, with the former being button-operated and the latter lever-operated. The handbrake is a crucial component of a car, and its correct usage can enhance driving safety. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use may reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. The handbrake system also includes a return spring; when the handbrake is engaged, the spring stretches, and when released, the spring returns to its original length.
