How to Use the Corolla Electronic Parking Brake?
2 Answers
Usage method of the Corolla electronic parking brake: 1. There is an electronic parking brake button near the gear shift lever, with a circle on the button containing the letters 'pk'; 2. Pulling the button upwards engages the parking brake; 3. Pressing the button downwards releases the parking brake. The Corolla is a brand under Toyota, with body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a top speed of 180km/h, front-wheel drive, and available body colors including Super White, Pearl White, Silver Metallic, Black Mica, Platinum Bronze Metallic, and Red Mica Metallic.
I've been driving a Corolla for over a year now, and the electronic parking brake works quite smoothly. When parking, wait until the car comes to a complete stop, then press the button on the center console marked with a 'P'. A red light on the dashboard will illuminate indicating the brake is engaged. Before driving, remember to fasten your seatbelt first, then firmly press the brake pedal before pressing the button again to release the parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it will automatically disengage when you press the accelerator to move forward, which is particularly handy for preventing rollback on slopes. With frequent stop-and-go city driving, you don't need to worry about wear issues common with traditional handbrakes. The button might respond slightly slower in cold or rainy weather, but you'll get used to it—just avoid applying excessive force to prevent damage. Overall, this feature significantly enhances driving convenience and is very beginner-friendly.
