Does the Electronic Parking Brake Release Automatically?

[DelJordan]

Electronic parking brakes do not release automatically. The electronic parking brake must be manually released when the car starts. Simply put, the electronic parking brake only applies braking through cables, replacing the driver's arm strength with motor power, and can only be unlocked with a light press. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake—both use the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake is also known as the electronic parking brake system. The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, achieving parking braking through electronic control technology.
