Why does Nissan use a foot brake?
1 Answers
Nissan uses a foot brake to save costs. Foot brake and its working principle: The foot brake, also known as the foot-operated parking brake, is, as the name suggests, a parking brake operated by the foot. The traditional handbrake is controlled by hand, with the operating handle usually installed near the gear shift lever. Its operation is also very simple. Simply pull it up to engage; press the button at the end of the handle, lift it slightly, and then push it back to release the "handbrake." Advantages of the foot brake: The foot brake is more effortless compared to the traditional handbrake because the handbrake requires greater force. Some women may find it strenuous to operate, and if insufficient force is applied, the brake may not reach its effective working point, leading to vehicle rollback, which can be dangerous on uneven terrain. The foot brake, on the other hand, can be effectively engaged by stepping on it with the foot. The body's weight allows the legs to exert greater force, and a light step can apply sufficient power.
