Electronic parking brake failure does affect driving. If the electronic parking brake malfunctions, the likelihood of the vehicle being unable to brake increases, which may lead to serious traffic accidents. Below is an introduction to the automotive electronic parking brake system: 1. Function: The electronic parking brake system, abbreviated as EPB (Electrical-Park-Brake), controls the parking brake through electronic circuits. Its function is similar to that of a mechanical handbrake. When starting the vehicle, there is no need to manually release the electronic handbrake; it will automatically disengage when the accelerator is pressed. 2. Advantage: Compared to a mechanical handbrake, the electronic parking brake system eliminates the need to manually release the handbrake when starting the vehicle; it will automatically disengage when the accelerator is pressed.
