LaCrosse has an electronic parking brake. The electronic parking brake of the LaCrosse is located on the center console on the right side. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Definition of electronic parking brake: The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which achieve parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. However, the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Correct usage of the electronic parking brake: While stepping on the brake to keep the vehicle stationary, pull up the electronic parking brake button. The driver can see a red electronic parking brake symbol on the instrument panel, indicating that the electronic parking brake has been activated.

I've driven several generations of the Buick LaCrosse, and I remember the early models like the 2010 version indeed used a traditional manual handbrake, which required pulling a lever—quite cumbersome and space-consuming. However, with technological advancements, Buick made the electronic parking brake system standard in the new LaCrosse models post-2016, switching to a one-button operation. This change not only saves space in the center console but also enhances parking safety, such as the auto-hold feature being very practical on slopes. The entire automotive industry is moving toward electrification, and this upgrade in the LaCrosse aligns with the trend, reducing the risk of misuse. If you're driving a new LaCrosse, you'll definitely appreciate this convenience—effortless and smart.

As an urban driver, I find the electronic parking brake on the LaCrosse incredibly user-friendly during traffic jams. My 2019 LaCrosse features an electronic button—just press it to automatically lock when parked, and it releases with a tap on the accelerator when starting, making it much easier when paired with the auto-hold function. The old manual lever was prone to rolling back on slopes, but the electronic system solves this issue while also enhancing interior cleanliness. Buick designed it with user convenience in mind—new owners might need time to adjust to the button placement, but once familiar, it becomes indispensable. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only routine circuit checks. In short, this represents a safety upgrade that makes daily driving more worry-free.

During test drives of multiple vehicles, I found the LaCrosse's electronic parking brake system to be smooth and reliable, noticeably quieter compared to other brands. The key lies in its motor control module, which reduces the risk of mechanical failures. Buick has done well in technology integration, though early models like the 2010 version may not feature electronic systems. If you own an older LaCrosse, retrofitting is possible - I recommend visiting a professional shop. Electronic technology will likely introduce more features like automatic parking in the future.
