Where is the handbrake of Cadillac ATSL located?
2 Answers
On the left side of the steering wheel, there is an electronic handbrake button closest to the door panel, marked with a P symbol. Here is some relevant information: 1. Cadillac: Cadillac, a world-renowned luxury car brand under General Motors of the United States, was born in 1902 in Detroit, known as the Motor City of America. Over the past century, Cadillac has created numerous firsts in the automotive industry and established many luxury car industry standards. 2. Handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels.
When I used to drive the Cadillac ATS-L, my favorite feature was its electronic parking brake. Located in the area just below and to the left of the steering wheel, you'll see a square button marked with a 'P'. Press it once to engage the parking brake, and press it again to release it. This design is incredibly convenient—just a quick flick of the finger at a red light, unlike the old-fashioned handbrake where you had to bend down and pull. However, remember that the parking brake won't automatically disengage when starting the car unless you're wearing your seatbelt. Once, I was in a hurry and forgot to buckle up, and I was puzzled why the car wouldn't move when I pressed the accelerator. Also, next to this button is the auto start-stop switch, so be careful not to press the wrong one. When parking on a slope, I always shift to neutral (N), engage the parking brake, and then shift to park (P)—it's much gentler on the transmission. Oh, and holding down the parking brake button activates emergency braking, which can be a lifesaver if the regular brakes fail.
