Where is the handbrake of Honda XR-V located?
2 Answers
The handbrake of Honda XR-V is located next to the gear lever, adjacent to the auto-hold button. The electronic handbrake icon is a circle with the letter P inside. The electronic handbrake operates on the same principle as a conventional mechanical handbrake, but it replaces the parking brake lever with a button. The advantages of the electronic handbrake are: 1. The driver does not need to exert force to pull the parking brake lever, just a light press of the button is sufficient; 2. It avoids the issue of the vehicle rolling due to insufficient tension with traditional handbrakes, reducing the operational effort for female drivers; 3. It provides more design flexibility for the interior styling, making parking and braking simpler and more effortless for the driver. The Honda XR-V 2017 model has a total of 5 variants on sale, all meeting China National V emission standards. It is positioned as a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4270mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm.
I remember when I drove the Honda XR-V, the handbrake was right on the right side of the driver's seat. That lever-style handle was particularly noticeable and within easy reach. Every time I parked, I'd first step on the brake, then gently pull up the lever, and the car would come to a steady stop. Newer models might have switched to an electronic parking brake button, placed near the gear shift on the center console—just press it. If you can't find it, check the dashboard indicator light or refer to the manual; it's quite convenient. The central placement is very ergonomic, avoiding distractions while driving. New drivers should be careful not to accidentally press it.
