Does the New Levin Require Pressing the Electronic Handbrake When Parking?

The New Levin does not require pressing the electronic handbrake when parking. Simply depress the brake pedal to slow down and stop the vehicle, shift the gear lever to the P position (Parking gear for the electronic handbrake), and then turn off the engine. Below is more related information: Electronic Handbrake: The automotive electronic handbrake is primarily used for long-term braking after parking, similar to traditional mechanical handbrakes. With the development of electronic parking brake systems, the functionality of electronic handbrakes has expanded from basic parking to include automatic parking features (AUTO-HOLD), eliminating the need for drivers to maintain prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. The automotive electronic handbrake, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake system (EPB), is indicated by a "P" button on the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as that of traditional mechanical handbrakes, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method has evolved from a mechanical handbrake to an electronic button.
I've been driving the new Levin for almost a year now, and I really don't need to press the electronic parking brake specifically when parking. The car is designed very intelligently—the system automatically engages the electronic parking brake when I shift to P or turn off the engine. This saves time and reduces the risk of operational errors. Last time I parked on a slope, I tested it: after turning off the engine, the parking brake was firmly applied, so no worries about the car rolling. The manual button works too, but it's completely unnecessary. Once you get used to this feature, driving becomes more relaxed, especially in the city with frequent stops at red lights—the system silently works to ensure safety. New owners might not be familiar with it at first, but they'll get the hang of it after a few tries. In short: park with peace of mind, no need to worry about manual operations—everything is taken care of automatically.
