Where is the handbrake located on the Nissan Sylphy?

[Santos]

The handbrake of the Nissan Sylphy is located next to the brake pedal and needs to be operated by foot. It is labeled with 'PushOff'—this functions as both a handbrake and a footbrake; pressing it will engage the brake. The car handbrake is an auxiliary braking mechanism designed for safety, primarily to prevent the vehicle from rolling when stationary. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. In contrast, the AUTOHOLD automatic parking function uses a slope sensor to provide precise braking force via the control unit. During startup, the parking control unit calculates data from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor, automatically releasing the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the rolling resistance, ensuring a smooth start. When driving in urban areas, simply enabling the AUTOHOLD function activates the corresponding automatic parking feature. The intelligent AUTOHOLD system automatically engages four-wheel braking when stopping at traffic lights or on slopes. Even in D or N gear, the driver does not need to keep their foot on the brake or use the handbrake, as the car remains stationary.
