How to Release the Electronic Parking Brake?
2 Answers
Release method for the electronic parking brake: Simply press the electronic parking brake button. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both control parking braking via the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. Advantages of the electronic parking brake include: 1. The elimination of the parking brake lever inside the cabin provides more design flexibility for the vehicle's interior styling; 2. Replacing the brake lever with a single button makes parking braking simpler and more effortless; 3. In addition to basic functions like static parking, static release, and automatic release, it also offers auxiliary functions such as auto hold and dynamic parking.
As a beginner in smart cars, I figured out the process of releasing the electronic parking brake after a few tries. First, after stopping the car, firmly press the brake pedal and don't let go. Then, locate the small button or switch with the 'P' letter on the center console, and gently press or pull it to release immediately. Many new cars will automatically release it when you shift to D gear and start moving, which is super convenient. I often remind my novice friends to check that there are no warning lights flashing on the dashboard before operating—safety first. Developing this habit while driving can prevent the risk of rolling back and avoid a lot of trouble.
