Where is the handbrake on Honda Jade
2 Answers
Honda Jade uses a foot-operated parking brake. The brake pedal is located next to the left foot, smaller than the main brake pedal. Pressing it all the way down is equivalent to pulling the handbrake, and pressing it again releases the handbrake. Here is some related information: 1. When JADE (Jade) was first launched in September 2013, it immediately attracted the attention of many urban young people and quickly became a best-selling model. The most striking features of JADE (Jade) are its stylish appearance and spacious interior. 2. Like other Honda models, JADE (Jade) has a relatively short engine compartment, but this does not affect the vehicle's ability to withstand frontal collisions. After the C-NCAP 64km/h frontal 40% offset collision test, the passenger compartment structure of JADE (Jade) remained very intact, with no significant deformation in key areas such as the A-pillar and B-pillar. The intrusion deformation of the steering column and pedals was also well controlled.
As someone who drives a Honda Jade daily, I find the handbrake position quite easy to locate—it's in the center console area on the driver's side, right behind the gear shift lever on the right. It’s actually an electronic push-button parking brake, marked with a 'P' symbol. To use it, simply press the button once when parking to engage, and press again to release when driving. My model is from post-2015, and they all feature this design, which is very convenient compared to older cars that used a lever. When operating it, always ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before pressing, otherwise it might damage the system. Engaging the handbrake before the car is fully stopped could strain the drivetrain components, leading to costly repairs. I recommend periodically checking the button’s responsiveness to avoid sudden failures. In cold winters, electronic components tend to react slower, so I always test it after starting the car in winter. Overall, once you locate it and get familiar with the operation, it makes driving safer and more worry-free.
