Where is the handbrake of the Highlander located?
1 Answers
The handbrake of the Highlander is positioned to the left of the brake pedal. The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which operates on a different principle from the main brake. It utilizes a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can lead to plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, continuous use may reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. The Highlander is a mid-size SUV with dimensions of 4890mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1720mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2790mm. It is configured as a 5-door, 5-seater SUV and comes equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
