I can't remember what a '97 Taurus has for an emergency brake. The ones with a handle (usually between the seats) You pull a little bit of strain on it then press the button on the end and push it down. The ones with a pedal, You push it down all the way and it should release. If neither work your brake could be stuck on and you would have to take the wheels apart to fix it.
the handle is located inside the trunk near the lock mechanism
The emergency brake release handle is to the left of the steering wheel. Down below, and is flush with the panel. Pull the finger tab and release.
Behind your emergency brake release handle
There is a t handle just above the pedal
It should be to the right of the emergency brake release handle or hood release handle, But tucked up under the bottom of the dash.
The release handle is right above the parking brake pedal underneath the dashboard on left side.
Push the button on the handle as you raise the handle. It will have to be pulled up firmly till you feel the cable release, then release the handle. Remember to keep the button down until the handle is all the way back down. You may have to do it again if someone has really pulled the cable up super tight!
There are two belt release levers, each located on opposite sides of the emergency brake handle in the center console.
Depends on the vehicle. On some you push a button on the brake handle. On others you twist the handle. On others you pull a lever under the dash. And on others you simply start the engine and put the car in gear and the brake will release automatically.
There is no such thing as an "Emergency brake" in a vehicle. The PARKING BRAKE is the pedal to the far left against the edge of the driver's footwell. The handle above the pedal is the release.
