Is the Leiling Electronic Parking Brake Automatic?
2 Answers
Leiling's electronic parking brake activates automatically. When the electronic parking brake is in operation, no manual intervention is required. Simply ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift into the P (Park) position, and the electronic parking brake will automatically engage. After shifting to P, you can directly exit and lock the vehicle. Key details are as follows: 1. The electronic parking brake employs an integrated caliper design, combining the motor sensor with the brake caliper for electronic control. Traditional parking brakes rely on hydraulic braking with cable mechanisms. While the electronic parking brake's structure is more complex, its operation is remarkably user-friendly. 2. Its advantages include high technological sophistication, giving a premium appearance. Vehicles equipped with electronic parking brakes typically feature an auto-hold system. This function proves exceptionally practical by preventing vehicle rollback during brief stops. The most noticeable improvements are the electronic parking brake's sleeker aesthetics and easier maintenance compared to conventional systems.
My Levin is equipped with an auto-hold function. When waiting at a red light, press the brake pedal firmly until the green AUTO HOLD indicator lights up on the dashboard, then you can release your right foot. When the car in front starts moving, gently tap the accelerator, and the electronic parking brake will automatically release—especially convenient in traffic jams. However, note that this function needs to be manually activated; the button is near the gear lever, marked with an airplane window-like symbol. Once, I forgot to turn it on while waiting on a slope, and I had to keep pressing the brake—the car almost rolled backward. By the way, the electronic parking brake button itself is automatic: it engages when the engine is off and releases automatically when you press the accelerator upon starting, much smarter than traditional handbrakes.
