Can You Drive Without Releasing the Electronic Parking Brake?
1 Answers
It is possible to drive without releasing the electronic parking brake. The electronic parking brake system is equipped with an automatic protection function. If the parking brake is not released when starting, the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage once the vehicle reaches a certain speed. Therefore, not releasing the parking brake will not cause harm to the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical parking brake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. When parking, after the driver operates the electronic parking brake system button, the electronic control unit will control the motors integrated in the left and right brake calipers to act, driving the brake caliper pistons to move and generate mechanical clamping force, thus completing the parking process.
