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 4641*1815*1450mm (L*W*H) 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.
