3 Answers
The method to use the Binyue electronic parking brake is: 1. With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, pull the electronic parking brake button upward to activate the electronic parking brake; 2. With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, press the electronic parking brake button downward to release the electronic parking brake; 3. Shift into D gear and press the accelerator, the electronic parking brake will automatically release. The Binyue is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4330mm, width 1800mm, height 1609mm, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 104 kW and a maximum torque of 235 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
After driving several models, I find the electronic parking brake design of the Bin Yue quite user-friendly. When parking and turning off the engine, a gentle push on the button with the P symbol on the center console locks the car securely, and the indicator light will illuminate as a reminder. Before starting the engine to drive off, ensure the seatbelt is fastened and the brake pedal is pressed, then hold the button until the light goes off to release it. Alternatively, for even more convenience, simply step on the accelerator to start, and the system will automatically release the parking brake—this is especially handy on steep slopes or in traffic jams. However, avoid operating it randomly while driving to prevent accidents. Developing a habit of checking the indicator light status before each start can help avoid embarrassing situations on the road. Beginners are advised to practice several times in an open area to get familiar with the feel—safety always comes first.
I was quite excited when I first used the electronic parking brake on my new Binyue. It feels much more modern than the old lever-style ones. Just press a button to engage it when parking and turning off the engine. After starting, sitting in the driver's seat, I press the button while holding the brake to release it. Later, I found that pressing the accelerator to auto-release is even smoother. The first time I tried the auto-release function on a slope, I was pleasantly surprised as the car started steadily without rolling back. In daily use, avoid frequently pressing the button to prevent electronic system failures, and have technicians check the wiring during regular maintenance. New drivers shouldn't be nervous—practice a few times and it'll become second nature. This design is worry-free and effortless.
