I felt safe hearing that sound when engaging hand or foot brake, very comforting... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SE she seemed worried and concerned and advised me that one should press the button at the tip and then pull it up, smoothly, not so abrupt and hasty as what i had done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is absolutely right. But its very simple. After you buy the car pull as hard as you like and make as much manly noise as you want. Since you only test drive and its not your car respect the SE advice. Edited May 7, 2021 by Jamesc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooose 6th Gear May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 i seem to remember reading somewhere though i cannot remember now where .. handbrake (as in the traditional pull up type) should be pulled up without pressing the button .. the button is a safety device to ensure that the handbrake will not be released by accident .. to be released it needs the button pressed .. this is like the traditional automatic transmission where you must press a button before you can shift to reverse so that reverse will not be engaged accidentally .. that means to engage handbrake just pull up (yes i know some people equate that sound to wear and tear somehow) but use the button to release ..
