The handbrake varies depending on the vehicle model:
VW/MAN
The handbrake on the Cozy Cottage is designed so that you can turn the driver's seat without hitting it. This is the reason why it sinks back to the ground when activated. This can give the impression that it is not tightened or not working.
So when you try to deactivate it, it may seem a little unusual. To release the handbrake, press the button and pull the lever backwards until it engages. This can take quite a lot of force - perhaps the passenger standing behind the driver's seat can help.
When you have parked on a downhill slope, don't forget to put a foot on the brake so that the car doesn't roll.
Watch it in the video:
Fiat Ducato
The electric handbrake is located on the left-hand side of the cockpit, next to the steering wheel.
To release, press the foot brake and push the electric lever inwards. To activate, press the foot brake and pull the electric handbrake towards you:
A light comes on in the dashboard when the handbrake is activated.
