Where is the handbrake located in a Beijing Hyundai vehicle?
2 Answers
The handbrake in a Beijing Hyundai vehicle is located on the right side of the driver's seat. The primary function of the handbrake is to brake the rear wheels. Beijing Hyundai models include: Tucson, Sonata, MISTRA Mingtu, Sonata Classic, Santa Fe, Tucson, Elantra, etc. Taking the Tucson 2020 Dual Clutch Two-Wheel Drive Comfort Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4545 mm, width 1850 mm, height 1670 mm, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters. The Tucson 2020 Dual Clutch Two-Wheel Drive Comfort Edition is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm.
I've been driving Hyundai models like the new Elantra for over a decade. The handbrake is usually located on the right side of the driver's seat, near the gear shift lever, designed as a manual pull lever mechanism. Pulling it up when parking prevents the car from rolling. For newer electronic handbrakes, it might appear as a button on the dashboard console—just press it to activate the automatic braking system. The positions are all user-friendly, easily reachable without distracting you while driving. I should mention small differences between models, like the Tucson SUV where it might be slightly higher, but the principle remains the same. Regularly check that the handbrake cable isn't stuck or loose—safety comes first, especially when parking on a slope. Once, I forgot to pull it, and the car almost rolled away; since then, I've made it a habit to double-check every time I exit the car. Cars are designed this way for convenience and safety, and maintenance is straightforward—just have them take a look during regular servicing to avoid any mishaps.
