Where is the handbrake of the Tayron located?
2 Answers
The handbrake of the Tayron is located on the left side of the gear shift lever, and the vehicle is equipped with an electronic handbrake. Classification of car handbrakes: There are different types of parking brakes, including mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot. High-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes. The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology. Working principle of electronic handbrake: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which achieve parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
I've been driving the Tayron to work, and initially, I was a bit puzzled by the handbrake position since it's not the traditional lever type. After sitting in the driver's seat, I noticed a prominent P button near the gear shift in the center console area—this is the electronic parking brake switch. A gentle press activates the handbrake, and a red indicator on the dashboard confirms it's engaged. To release, simply step on the accelerator—super convenient. The placement is very ergonomic, located close to the right hand, eliminating the need to reach far and reducing distractions. The electronic handbrake also includes an auto-hold feature that automatically engages at red lights, making it incredibly worry-free. For beginners, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the button's location before parking to avoid accidental presses, and keeping the center console clean to prevent button jams. Overall, this design enhances driving safety and space efficiency, making daily use quite comfortable. A quick tip: don’t forget to double-check its status in rainy weather to ensure it’s secure.
