How to manually release the stuck electronic parking brake on a Soueast DX7?
2 Answers
First, turn off the ignition button and wait for about 10 seconds. Then press the ignition button again to restart the vehicle while keeping your foot on the brake pedal. Next, press and hold the electronic parking brake (EPB) button to check if it can be released. If unsuccessful, repeat this operation several times for testing.
My Soueast DX7 once had an issue where the electronic parking brake wouldn't release, which was really frustrating, but I've researched the manual release method. Generally, it's caused by circuit problems or low voltage leading to a lock. To manually release it, you need to locate the emergency release device—a yellow pull cable handle under the hood or on the side of the trunk. First, park the car on level ground and shift into neutral. Open the hood or trunk and carefully look for the small pull ring; a gentle tug will physically release the brake. Afterward, try moving the vehicle to ensure the release is effective. Remember, this is only a temporary solution—you must promptly visit a repair shop to check the battery or wiring issues, or it might get stuck again next time. Regular maintenance, especially monitoring battery health, can prevent such annoying situations.
