How to Use the Corolla Electronic Parking Brake?
2 Answers
The method to use the Corolla electronic parking brake is: 1. Cars equipped with an electronic parking brake have an electronic parking brake button near the gear lever. This button features a circle with the letter 'p' inside; 2. Pulling the button upwards engages the parking brake, while pressing it downwards releases the parking brake. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses electronic control to achieve parking braking, with the control method shifting from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The Corolla is a compact car under FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The vehicle is equipped with the VSC vehicle stability control system, TRC traction control system, HAC hill-start assist function, and an intelligent fuel-saving start-stop system.
The electronic parking brake in my Corolla is located behind the gear shift lever, featuring a small button with a 'P' on it. When parking, simply press it while holding the brake pedal, and a red parking brake indicator will light up on the dashboard. For starting off, the most convenient method is to fasten your seatbelt, shift to D gear, and lightly press the accelerator—it will release automatically without needing to press the button. On slopes, the hill start assist automatically activates, preventing rollback for two seconds after releasing the brake. If the button gets stuck (I've experienced this during rainy days), don't panic—the manual mentions an emergency release loop hidden near the side toolbox in the trunk; pulling it can mechanically unlock the brake.
