Which One is the Foot Brake in an Automatic Transmission Car?

[FranciscoAnn]

In an automatic transmission car, the foot brake is generally located at the position of the left foot. Family cars usually use a handbrake or an electronic handbrake, while the foot brake is a relatively uncommon braking method, typically found in some Japanese car models. Handbrakes are more commonly used in cars, with the traditional handbrake being a prevalent braking method due to its lower manufacturing cost. The traditional handbrake employs a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle, mainly consisting of a brake lever, cable, brake mechanism, and return spring. Compared to the traditional handbrake, the foot brake requires less effort to use and has the advantage of saving space on the car's center console. It's important to note that due to this design, many car owners often forget to release the foot brake before driving.
