Where is the handbrake located in a Nissan?
1 Answers
Handbrake is located where the clutch pedal used to be on the left side. Below is relevant information about handbrakes: Introduction: The professional term for handbrake is auxiliary brake. Different from the principle of service brakes, it uses steel cables connected to rear brakes to stop the vehicle. Long-term use of handbrakes will cause plastic deformation of the steel cables. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce effectiveness and increase handbrake travel distance. There is also a return spring used in conjunction with the handbrake. When pulling the handbrake for braking, the spring stretches; when releasing the handbrake, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use will also cause corresponding deformation of the spring. Location: For small cars, some handbrakes are located behind the transmission, connected to the driveshaft where there is a brake disc (similar to disc brakes, though some use drum brakes), then the pulling force is transmitted there through steel cables to achieve parking braking.
