Is the electronic brake pulled up or pushed down?

Electronic brake is pulled up to engage and pushed down to release. The working principle of the electronic brake is that the sensor identifies and judges whether to initiate the emergency braking procedure by analyzing the driver's pedal operation. Thus, the system can immediately activate maximum braking pressure to achieve the highest possible braking effect, achieving ideal stopping power to prevent traffic accidents. Braking is divided into the following two situations: Hand-operated parking brake: Special attention is required during this process. If the vehicle speed is too high, forcefully pulling the handbrake may cause the vehicle to roll over. Therefore, to avoid accidents at high speeds, the handbrake should be gently pulled to prevent rollover incidents. Electronic parking brake: In addition to the hand-operated parking brake, there is also an electronic button-type parking brake, which is much more stable compared to the hand-operated type. This electronic parking brake controls the braking force through the vehicle's computer to achieve braking. As another braking method, it does not rely on the hydraulic braking system, making the electronic parking brake very useful when the foot brake fails.

When driving, I find that the electronic parking brake operation is usually straightforward: pulling upwards applies the brake, meaning it locks the wheels like engaging a handbrake; pushing downwards releases the brake, allowing the car to move. This design is quite intuitive, as the upward pulling motion mimics the traditional lever brake, reducing the risk of accidental operation. However, different car models may vary—for example, my previous car had a button-style system where a single press engaged it and another press disengaged it. For safety, I always pull upwards after parking to ensure the dashboard indicator light comes on. When starting on a slope, pushing down to release while applying the throttle prevents rolling back. Developing this good habit makes daily driving safer.

As a new driver, I find the electronic parking brake easy to use: generally, you pull it up once to engage the brake, and the car will be securely locked in place; push it down to release, and you're ready to drive. If I'm unsure, I always check the owner's manual or ask a friend to avoid mistakes. The design is more effortless than the old lever type—just a simple flick without needing much force; some cars have a button version where a single press does the trick. When parking, don't forget to operate it—pull up and wait for the light to come on before releasing; when starting, gently push it down to release without delay.

After driving for so many years, the electronic parking brake is pulled up to engage and pushed down to release, making operation much more convenient than a manual handbrake. When parking, pull up to engage the brake, and the dashboard light indicates activation; when ready to move, push down to release, and the system handles the automatic force. It's reliable for parking on slopes, with electronic control preventing rollback for peace of mind; young drivers should master this function to reduce accidents. Remember to engage only after the car is fully stopped to avoid accidental operation.
