Where is the handbrake located on a Toyota Crown?
1 Answers
Toyota Crown's handbrake is positioned at the clutch location, specifically as a foot-operated handbrake. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The professional term for a handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, the handbrake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. It is used for braking when parking on flat or sloped surfaces to prevent the vehicle from moving unintentionally when unattended, thereby avoiding traffic accidents. 2. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance.
