How to Identify the Electronic Parking Brake Switch?
1 Answers
In sedans, the electronic parking brake is indicated by an uppercase 'P'. Here are some extended details: 1. The electronic parking brake saves more space compared to a conventional handbrake, freeing up additional space around the center console area, making the interior feel more spacious. 2. It features an AUTOHOLD automatic parking function. Through sensors, the controller provides precise parking activation. During startup, the parking control unit calculates signals from sensors, the accelerator pedal, etc. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, ensuring a smooth start. 3. If the battery is dead, a jump start is required to release the parking brake. A dead battery prevents the car from starting, but the car cannot be towed unless the parking brake is released. 4. In situations where braking is lost or greater braking force is needed, pulling the parking brake can increase braking force, serving as a critical life-saving measure in emergencies.
