Do You Need to Release the Electronic Parking Brake When Starting?
1 Answers
When starting with an electronic parking brake, there is no need to manually release it. Simply shift to the drive gear and lightly press the accelerator, and the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage. The electronic parking brake will automatically activate with a simple press of the button when the vehicle is shifted into the parking gear, so there is no need to worry about the car rolling. Here is the correct method for starting with an electronic parking brake: 1. Parking: Press the brake, shift to P gear, pull the electronic parking brake once, and you can hear the sound of the brake tightening. The onboard computer will display that the electronic parking brake is activated. 2. Starting: Press the brake, shift to D gear, press the electronic parking brake once, and release the brake to start. Some cars are even simpler—the electronic parking brake automatically activates when the car stops, and pressing the accelerator when starting will automatically disengage the electronic parking brake.
