And released with a button on the dash? I drove a Vito similar to that, except it was a manual so there were 4 pedals - madness!Originally Posted by directhex
Foot on brake, button + firm pull, release brake and relax! I don't like the noise of the handbrake either so I use the button.
just pull it all the way up. safety is way more important
reverse gently into bumper of car behind, hope like hell you get back to car before other driver does
We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat
Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.
Approach corner on loose gravel, turn steering wheel, pull handbrake, grin
I push the button in.
Nope, released by hitting the same pedal again. Switching to & from a manual is fun.
Only on the tighter turns.
no Hex.. that's not an awesome design choice.. it's just wrong.... but not for you it seems
Handbrakes.... the clue is in the title.....
your parking brake is wrong on nearly every level of wrong....
however..I'm happy that you're happy. For me it's just like someone uplugged 10% of the characteristics of ... Direct X or OpenGL... you're missing a ky ingredient to driving,
The parking break on the current Passats is interesting. A button on the dash, you can either press it again to release it or just blip the throttle to release.
When I was last in the us the rental car I got had a handbrake like that, it confused the hell out of me, but apparently it is quite common over there.

I always hold the button in, just because I don't like the noise. (And one of my cars is a Vauxhall)
I also always leave the car in gear, either 1st or reverse, usually 1st. I only turn the wheels into the curb if I'm on a steep hill, doesn't happen much in Norfolk.
To those who enjoy handbrake turns. Don't buy a citroen with their hydraulic system. The handbrake acts on the front! I drove an auto Citroen which had the "handbrake" operated by a pedal where the clutch should have been and a lever on the dash that locked it.

I do the clicky thing, but then I like to annoy people. Even when there's no-one there.
