How to Use Electronic Parking Brake Correctly?

[LeJames]

Using the electronic parking brake is relatively simple, typically achieved by pressing the electronic parking button inside the vehicle. After parking and turning off the engine, the driver can directly press the electronic parking button. The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term braking after parking, and employs electronic control to achieve parking braking. Below is an introduction to the electronic parking brake: 1. The working principle of the electronic parking brake is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which tighten the rear brake shoes via cables to achieve braking. Another type uses an electromechanical caliper, where the motor clamps the brake to control parking braking, extending the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTO-HOLD. 2. Currently, there are two types of electronic parking brake switches on the market: one is a standard button type, where pressing once activates the electronic parking brake, and pressing again deactivates it; the other is a toggle switch type, similar to a window control switch, where pushing up activates the parking brake function, and pushing down deactivates it.
