Should the parking brake be engaged or not?

[DeAustin]

Parking brake refers to the manual braking system. Parking Brake: The parking brake, also known as the handbrake, is designed to ensure the vehicle remains stationary and prevents rolling when parked. In recent years, electronic parking brakes have become increasingly popular, commonly referred to as electronic handbrakes. Compared to traditional mechanical handbrakes, they are considered a "high-tech" feature. Below, we will explain the standard operations for both electronic and traditional mechanical handbrakes. Electronic Parking Brake: The electronic parking brake utilizes computer-controlled technology to achieve parking braking. Essentially, it functions similarly to the traditional mechanical handbrake, both relying on friction between the brake disc and brake pads to achieve the braking effect. The primary difference lies in the control mechanism.
