Is the Electronic Parking Brake Automatically Engaged?

[DaniellaDella]

There are two modes for the electronic parking brake: automatic and manual, which can be switched between. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Manual Mode: It functions similarly to the traditional mechanical handbrake. The only difference is that you don't need to release the brake manually; pressing the accelerator will automatically disengage it. In other words, the brake can be released either automatically or manually. 2. Automatic Mode: When the vehicle comes to a stop, the parking brake is automatically engaged. It will automatically disengage when the accelerator is pressed, or it can be manually released. Essentially, releasing the brake works the same way in both automatic and manual modes. 3. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB): Currently, the EPB is still considered a relatively high-end feature. Most vehicles equipped with an EPB have an automatic release function, but the driver still needs to command when to engage the parking brake via a button. The electronic parking system is quite similar to the traditional mechanical parking brake, except that it replaces the handbrake lever or parking brake pedal with an electronic control device. Additionally, the EPB only engages the rear wheels.
