The handbrake of this model is a button-type, located directly below the center console, marked with a 'P' for the electronic parking brake. Below is a relevant introduction about the electronic parking brake: 1. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves vehicle parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving the purpose of vehicle parking braking by generating friction between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the previous mechanical handbrake lever has been replaced with an electronic button. 2. The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic brake braking system, combines the functions of temporary braking during vehicle operation and long-term braking after parking, achieving vehicle parking braking through electronic control. It also extends to the vehicle's automatic parking function, allowing the driver to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is parked, effectively preventing the vehicle from sliding.

In my experience driving the Lexus ES200, the parking brake location is a common question since it's not a traditional lever but an electronic button. It's positioned on the center console near the driver's left knee—a round button that's super easy to operate: press it while holding the brake pedal to activate (indicator light on), and press again to release, ensuring safety. This design replaces the old mechanical handle, reflecting a modern car trend, and proves especially practical for automatic anti-rollback assistance on steep slopes or in traffic jams. Driving the Lexus, I found the button integration intelligent—saving space while enhancing the driving experience. It becomes very convenient for daily commutes once you're used to it, and if you occasionally forget its position, just check the indicator light. Compared to other brands, Lexus implements its electronic systems meticulously: the button is placed close to the leg for easy access, sized just right to prevent accidental presses, prioritizing safety above all.

As an experienced driver who has driven many cars, the handbrake of the Lexus ES200 is a small button located near the left knee, which is much easier to find compared to older cars. Just press the button and it's done, no need to pull a lever like before. This change initially felt awkward because I was used to forcefully pulling the handle in the past. Now, a light press lights up the indicator and the car stops steadily, and releasing it is quick, reducing mistakes. The position is quite reasonable next to the driver's seat—just a quick glance down and you can find it. I recommend new drivers get familiar with it after a few tries, and they'll find it smooth. The advantage of the electronic system is its stability and accident prevention, especially on slopes. I also noticed the button's material is durable and doesn't take up much space. The overall layout of the Lexus is clean and simple. Once you get used to it, you'll find it more worry-free and reliable than older cars.

In my daily driving of the Lexus ES200, the parking brake position is exceptionally easy to locate—just a small button below the steering wheel near the knee, which activates with a simple press, making it very convenient. Initially, I was a bit confused when I couldn't find a lever, but after getting used to it, I absolutely love the electronic method. Press the button, the light comes on, and the car is securely stopped; releasing it follows the same operation, saving effort and looking sleek. The position near the leg makes it easy to operate, combined with automatic release to prevent rolling, showcasing Lexus's thoughtful design that saves space while ensuring safety. Commuting is no longer a hassle with parking brake concerns.
