Where is the handbrake of the Buick business car?
2 Answers
The handbrake of the Buick business car is located at the far left under the foot. When parking is needed, step on it firmly to the bottom, which gives the same feeling as pulling up the handbrake normally. Just step on it again to release the parking and get back on the road. If the power gear is engaged without releasing the parking, there will be a voice reminder. The specific use of the handbrake is as follows: 1. Remember to pull the handbrake when parking and turning off the engine. If the handbrake is not pulled after parking, the car may move by itself, leading to accidents. Especially on slopes, it is necessary to engage the gear and pull the handbrake, waiting for the vehicle to stabilize before getting off. 2. The handbrake is often used in conjunction with the neutral gear. When waiting briefly at a red light, pulling the handbrake in neutral not only prevents the car from rolling on uneven roads but also allows the right foot to release the brake. 3. Do not pull the handbrake too tight. Nowadays, many cars have spring-operated handbrakes with gears. The higher the handbrake is pulled, the tighter the spring becomes. Therefore, when pulling, it is advisable to stop when the car does not shake, and try not to pull it to the extreme, which helps prolong the life of the handbrake. 4. When starting, make sure to push the handbrake down, and pay attention to pressing the button to ensure it reaches the very bottom. Forgetting to release the handbrake can cause damage to it.
I've been driving a Buick business van for a while now. The parking brake is usually located on the right side of the center console near the gear lever, in the form of a small button. To activate the electronic parking brake when parking, simply pull the button upward, and press it to release before starting off. At first, I wasn't quite used to it, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. Compared to the mechanical lever in older cars, this electronic design saves more space, which is especially suitable for spacious commercial vehicles like Buick. Pay extra attention when parking on rainy days or slopes—it's safer to step on the foot brake first before operating the parking brake button. This setup is common in the Buick GL8, with its minimalist interior layout where the button is within easy reach and doesn't interfere with the driving view. In short, after a few practices, it becomes very handy to operate.
