Where is the handbrake located in an automatic transmission car?

[GrantMarie]

Automatic transmission handbrake is located next to the gear lever. Additional information about the handbrake is as follows: 1. The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which differs from the principle of the main brake. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. 2. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. 3. For the most common mechanical handbrake, the first thing to note is not to pull it up too forcefully every time you park, and especially avoid pulling it to the maximum position. Excessive stretching of the metal or maintaining it in a stretched state for extended periods will accelerate deformation, leading to faster deterioration of the handbrake cable's braking performance.
