You can engage the electronic parking brake after the engine is turned off. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses an electronic system to control the vehicle's parking brake, achieving the same effect as a mechanical handbrake but with a different control method. Its advantages include saving the space occupied by a mechanical handbrake, creating more room in the center console, and offering simple operation with less effort. The working principle of the electronic parking brake is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control the parking brake. The only difference is that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking during driving with the long-term parking braking function, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology.
