Is the handbrake of the Cadillac CT5 automatic?

Cadillac CT5 has an automatic handbrake, but it does not feature auto hold. Below are detailed introductions about the Cadillac CT5: Overview: The Cadillac CT5 is a mid-size car under the Cadillac brand, officially launched on November 18, 2019. The entire lineup has been iteratively upgraded with the new-generation Cadillac Mobile Internet Experience CUE and wireless CarPlay. The CT5 features a refreshed "Maple Red" exterior color.

Driving the Cadillac CT5, I find its parking brake is indeed automatic. When I park the car, it locks by itself, and when starting, a light press on the accelerator automatically releases it, making things very convenient. Unlike the old-fashioned handbrake that requires effort to pull the lever. This electronic parking brake design not only frees up space but also reduces the possibility of misoperation. If parked on a slope, it can automatically activate hill-start assist to prevent the car from rolling, providing a great sense of security. I often commute in the city, and at places with many traffic lights, it responds quickly without manual intervention. Of course, if the electronic system occasionally malfunctions, there will be a warning light, but the CT5's reliability is quite good—no issues in two years. Overall, this kind of intelligence makes driving easier and more efficient.

I haven't been driving the Cadillac CT5 for very long, but the feature that impressed me the most is its automatic parking brake function. When I arrive at my destination and turn off the engine, it automatically engages. To release it, I just need to fasten my seatbelt and lightly press the accelerator when starting the car, which is incredibly convenient. With kids sitting in the back seat, I don't have to worry about them playing with a manual lever and causing trouble. The design is also very thoughtful, taking up minimal interior space and keeping the center console area neat and tidy. I've looked into it, and this electronic parking brake even has a built-in safety backup—if there's a malfunction, the dashboard will light up to alert me. It's simple and safe for daily use, reducing the fatigue of manual operation. For beginners or practical-minded drivers like me, this feature is a real time-saver.

The parking brake on the Cadillac CT5 is automatic, in my opinion. I'm used to the traditional manual lever, but with this car, I noticed that it automatically locks when parked and releases when starting. This reduces operation, making long-distance driving less tiring. Sometimes when parked on a slope, it effectively stabilizes the car to prevent slipping. However, electronic components may develop issues as they age, so regular maintenance and checks are necessary to ensure the circuitry functions properly. While this system is reliable, it's not as intuitive as a manual one.
