The electronic parking brake system operates on the same principle as the manual mechanical parking brake system, achieving parking by clamping the friction between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc. However, the control method replaces manual operation and mechanical linkage with electronic buttons and motor actions, hence the system is fully named the Electronically Controlled Mechanical Parking Brake System. Below are the methods to release the foot brake on a Mercedes-Benz: 1.
