[pixie373]

White?

[Tilly2]

Just a bit concerned that it doesn't have a hand brake. It's a button thing. How does that work?

[Tilly2]

Pixie! You are the winner.

[pixie373]

Woohoo! thank you x

[Tilly2]

Meriva Techline, Arctic White. No handbrake?????????????????????

[retrotv]

It's an Electric Parking Brake. A motor applies the brakes to the rear wheels. It also provides Hill Start Assist and Hill Start Hold. For confidence I would practice a Hill Start on a quiet road a few times.

It has to be better than the Vauxhall Handbrake which was famous for failing if your brake discs were hot when you parked.

When parking on a hill leave the car in gear and slightly angle the wheels towards the kerb. I read that somewhere recently.

that's how they do it in San Francisco - in fact I think you'll get a ticket if you don't.

I don't know if San Tilly is as hilly.

[Tilly2]

Not too many hills in Bedford. I should be ok.It'll be a different story if we move to Stoke though. There it's all hills.

Is it a Mokka or an Adam?

No, Danny. Is that another guess?
