Where is the handbrake located in a Lexus?
1 Answers
Lexus's handbrake is positioned near the driver's left foot. The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will also increase. Taking the 2020 Lexus ES200 as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan with the following dimensions: length 4975mm, width 1866mm, height 1447mm, wheelbase 2870mm, front track 1595mm, rear track 1612mm, fuel tank capacity 60.6 liters, trunk capacity 454 liters, and curb weight 1610kg.
