Where is the handbrake located on a Camry?

[DeChristian]

Camry's handbrake is located at the driver's foot position, specifically the pedal to the left of the brake pedal (it uses a foot-operated handbrake). The function of the handbrake: After parking the vehicle, engaging the handbrake presses the brake shoes against the brake drum or disc, placing the vehicle in a braked state to prevent dangerous movement. However, the braking force of the handbrake is minimal at high speeds. If the driver pulls the handbrake at high speed, the rear wheels can easily lock up, and the cable may break. This can cause the vehicle to skid or even roll over. Professional name for the handbrake: Auxiliary brake, which operates on a different principle than the main brake. It uses a cable connected to the rear brake shoes to stop the car. The handbrake is a frequently used system. Proper and correct usage ensures smoother operation in the future, especially for mechanical handbrakes with heavy use. It's best to follow the correct method of operation.
