How to Use the Lavida Electronic Parking Brake Correctly?

With the brake pedal pressed to keep the vehicle stationary, pull up the electronic parking brake button. The driver can see a red electronic parking brake symbol on the dashboard, indicating that the electronic parking brake is engaged.
I've been driving the Lavida for three years, and the electronic parking brake is incredibly convenient with its simple operation. When parking, just press the electronic parking brake button on the center console (the one with the P symbol), and the red light indicates it's engaged, securely locking the car. Before driving, press the button again while holding the brake pedal to release it, or simply step on the accelerator—it automatically disengages, saving effort. During my daily commute, which often involves traffic jams, the Auto Hold function is a lifesaver. Once the car stops, the system automatically engages the parking brake, and pressing the accelerator releases it, preventing any hassle. Especially on slopes, the anti-rollback feature provides extra safety, eliminating worries about the car sliding backward. I once forgot to engage it on a weekend slope and nearly rolled into a pedestrian—thankfully, I reacted in time. Now, I’ve made it a habit to always use it when parked. This design is far superior to traditional handbrakes—no more strenuous pulling, reduced wear, and easy maintenance (just occasionally wiping the button with a soft cloth). Safety comes first when driving, and proper usage significantly boosts peace of mind.
