Which control can operate a car’s parking brake, depending on its design?

Correct answer

A lever, a dedicated pedal or a switch or button, depending on the vehicle.

A lever, a dedicated pedal or a switch or button, depending on the vehicle. The DGT road-safety manual describes these arrangements. Consult the car’s instructions for correct application and release. Its principal function is to keep the vehicle stationary; do not confuse a dedicated parking-brake pedal with the service-brake pedal. Not every car uses a handbrake lever.
