Can You Still Drive with an Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction?
1 Answers
If a car experiences an electronic parking brake malfunction, it should not continue to be driven as it may lead to vehicle rollaway, potentially causing a traffic accident. Solutions for electronic parking brake malfunction: Reset the electronic parking brake by turning on the car key, then pressing the foot brake, holding down the electronic parking brake for 5 seconds, and then pulling it up for another 5 seconds. This will complete the initialization and reset of the electronic parking brake. Function and introduction of the parking brake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the manual brake or handbrake, is typically installed in motor vehicles. The handbrake is usually located within easy reach of the driver's right hand for convenience. The purpose of the parking brake is to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by vehicle rollaway when parked on inclined surfaces.
