Is the Handbrake Light On or Off?
1 Answers
When the electronic handbrake light is on, it indicates that the handbrake is engaged. The electronic handbrake is a switch that can be toggled up and down. Toggling it up engages the electronic handbrake, while toggling it down disengages it. The handbrake is a function commonly used in daily driving. With the continuous advancement of automotive production technology, the types of handbrakes have gradually evolved. More related information is as follows: 1. Handbrake: Initially, cars used mechanical handbrakes. As automotive production technology advanced, electronic handbrakes gradually replaced mechanical ones. Compared to mechanical handbrakes, electronic handbrakes save space on the car's center console. The working principle of an electronic handbrake is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake—both achieve parking brake control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the traditional lever has been replaced by an electronic button. 2. Precautions: Before driving, it is essential to press the electronic handbrake, as it is very easy to forget. Cars equipped with electronic handbrakes usually come with an AUTOHOLD automatic parking function. AUTOHOLD refers to the technology that allows the car to achieve automatic braking. During driving, when a temporary stop is needed, activating AUTOHOLD and pressing the brake pedal will automatically engage the brakes.
