Where is the handbrake located on the Patrol?

The Patrol does not have a handbrake, but rather a foot brake, which is located to the left of the brake pedal (commonly referred to as the handbrake). More details about the Patrol are as follows: 1. The Patrol is Nissan's first full-size SUV. While retaining the rugged off-road style, it incorporates many fashionable and technological elements. 2. The body dimensions are 5165*1995*1955mm, with a wheelbase of 3075mm. 3. The Nissan Patrol is equipped with a 5.6L-V8 engine, featuring technologies such as gasoline direct injection, with a maximum power output of 398 horsepower and peak torque of 550N·m. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. 4. Both front and rear suspensions use double-wishbone independent suspension.
I've driven quite a few SUVs, including several generations of the Patrol, and I must say its handbrake position is quite standard. It's on the right side of the driver's seat, specifically just behind the gear shift lever, within easy reach of that lever. I recall that the new Patrol has slight changes compared to the older models, such as the older ones possibly being positioned a bit more forward, but basically, the design is the same, intended for quick operation when parking. Other large vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser are similar, but the Patrol's position feels more natural, without the risk of straining your back. I also recommend checking it regularly to ensure the cable isn't loose, otherwise, the car might roll when parked on a slope. Overall, this design makes driving safer, especially useful in congested city traffic.
