1 Answers
The fault light P with a slash indicates a malfunction in the electronic parking brake, which requires resetting the electronic parking brake. Below is relevant information about the electronic parking brake: 1. Function of the electronic parking brake: The parking brake is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. Some automatic transmission models on the market feature a foot brake near the driver's left foot, which functions similarly to a handbrake. Advanced models may also be equipped with an electronic parking brake system. 2. Method to reset the electronic parking brake: Turn on the car key, press the foot brake, then hold the electronic handbrake down for 5 seconds, followed by pulling it up for another 5 seconds. This completes the initialization and reset of the electronic handbrake.
