Where is the handbrake of the Sylphy located?

The handbrake of the Sylphy is located next to the brake pedal. Below are the specific details about the Sylphy: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Sylphy is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., with dimensions of 464118151450mm (LWH) and a wheelbase of 2712mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine that complies with the China VI emission standards, delivering a maximum power of 99kW (135 horsepower) and a peak torque of 159Nm. The transmission system is paired with a CVT gearbox. 3. Smart Features: The Sylphy comes with the new Nissan-Connect super-intelligent system, featuring an 8-inch high-definition capacitive touchscreen that includes functions such as voice control for the vehicle and remote vehicle control. The voice control allows basic operations of the vehicle's online entertainment system, all-time online navigation system, Bluetooth phone, driving recorder, and air conditioning through simple voice commands. The remote monitoring and control function enables seamless connectivity between the smart APP and the user's smartphone, allowing remote control of the door locks, lights & horn, engine, and air conditioning based on specific needs.

I drive a Nissan Sylphy, which I've had for about three or four years. The handbrake is located next to the driver's right leg, behind the gear lever—it's a vertical metal rod. When I'm driving, I can easily reach it by just lifting my right hand, and it's quite handy to use. However, the newer Sylphy models seem to have switched to an electronic parking brake button, which is among the control buttons on the left side of the gear lever. I tried my friend's car, and pressing that button is indeed much more convenient, but there's something reassuring about the feel of the old-fashioned metal handbrake. Also, always make sure to fully release the handbrake before driving—last time my wife drove, she almost set off with the handbrake still on.

I remember studying this in detail when I accompanied a friend to pick up their Nissan Sylphy. The mechanical handbrake was located in front of the armrest and behind the gear lever - you had to pull it back hard with your hand until you heard a click to confirm it was locked. The newer models have upgraded to an electronic button, positioned in the control area to the left of the gear lever with a prominent 'P' marking. Once on a rainy day, I got a scare when an older model car rolled because the handbrake wasn't fully engaged. The electronic handbrake prevents this by automatically engaging the parking brake, which I think is more user-friendly for female drivers with less strength. However, you need to be cautious about battery failure when using electronic handbrakes.

As someone who frequently researches cars, I'm quite familiar with the changes in the Sylphy model. The older versions all had the handbrake behind the gear shift lever, located on the central console, requiring a manual pull to lock. The newer models, like the 2023 version, have all been upgraded to an electronic button handbrake, positioned on the panel to the left of the center console's gear shift. This modification makes the central console much cleaner, and finding the air conditioning knob while driving isn't obstructed by the handbrake lever anymore. However, mechanical handbrakes are simpler to maintain; I recall a repair technician mentioning that many older cars don't need their handbrake cables replaced even after 200,000 kilometers. Additionally, mechanical structures can be more reliable in extreme situations.
