Should the Electronic Parking Brake Be Engaged When Turning Off the Engine?
1 Answers
It is necessary to engage the electronic parking brake when turning off the engine to prevent the vehicle from rolling and ensure safety. Most electronic parking brakes are automatically engaged after the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is closed, but some vehicles require manual engagement or unlocking. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. The basic parking function of the electronic parking brake has been extended to include the automatic parking function AUTOHOLD. The application of AUTOHOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. With the automatic electronic parking brake activated, unnecessary sliding of the vehicle can be prevented.
