Where is the handbrake on the Cadillac ATS?
2 Answers
The electronic parking brake is located in front of the driver's left leg. Here are the specific details: 1. Wheelbase: The wheelbase measures 2755 mm, with wide front and rear tracks. It features a short suspension system and a tire inner-ring tightening metal plate design to further enhance vehicle stability. The entire series comes standard with 17-inch wheels, with an option for 18-inch wheels. 2. Vertical lighting design: The vehicle adopts a vertical lighting design, including new signature LED headlights, self-illuminating door handles, and an active grille design, enhancing the car's technological feel, fashion, and functionality. When driving at certain speeds on highways, the grille system actively closes to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel efficiency. 3. Interior design: The interior design extensively utilizes advanced technology and refined materials, with carefully considered positions for pedals and gear levers. Optional high-performance seats feature electrically adjustable controls, optimizing lateral support for the driver during high-speed cornering.
I've used it a few times on my Cadillac ATS. That handbrake is actually an electronic button located on the control panel near the driver's side door, to the left of the steering wheel. You'll see a small button marked with a P symbol or labeled as the Electric Parking Brake. You don't really notice it while driving, but it comes in handy when parking. Press it once to activate the electronic parking brake, and the wheels automatically lock; to release, simply step on the accelerator, which is much more convenient than traditional lever handbrakes, especially when parking on slopes or in rainy conditions to prevent slipping. The design also saves interior space, not occupying the center console area. I think this electronic system has fewer malfunctions, but it's important to regularly check the button's responsiveness to avoid failure.
