Where is the handbrake on a Lexus?
1 Answers
Most Lexus models are equipped with a foot brake or an electronic handbrake. The foot brake is located under the steering wheel on the driver's side; pressing it is equivalent to pulling the handbrake. The operation of the foot brake is similar to that of the handbrake. Once the foot brake pedal is pressed, the car will stop. When driving, pressing the foot brake pedal again will allow the car to move forward. More information about the handbrake is as follows: 1. When using the handbrake, pull it upward to stop the car. Lowering the handbrake lever while driving will allow the car to move. 2. The electronic handbrake button is usually located behind the gear lever. Cars equipped with an electronic handbrake have handbrake motors on both rear wheels. Pressing the electronic handbrake button will cause the motor to clamp the brake pads, preventing the car from rolling. 3. Cars with an electronic handbrake often also feature an autohold function, which is very useful when waiting at traffic lights. If you can't find the handbrake on your Lexus and there is no electronic handbrake button, look down near the brake pedal to find the foot brake pedal.
