Do I Need to Press the Electronic Parking Brake When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
When starting an automatic transmission car with an electronic parking brake, you need to press it. To start, depress the brake pedal, shift to D gear, then press the electronic parking brake and release the brake pedal to begin moving. Below is additional information: Parking Brake System: The electronic parking brake in cars, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), operates on the same principle as the traditional mechanical handbrake, controlling parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The difference lies in the control method, which has evolved from a mechanical handbrake to an electronic button. Principle and Function: The electronic parking brake integrates the temporary braking during driving with the long-term parking brake function, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. The electronic parking brake extends from the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTOHOLD. This feature allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. With the automatic electronic parking brake engaged, it prevents unnecessary sliding of the vehicle.
