What are the damages of pulling the electronic handbrake while driving?
1 Answers
Pulling the electronic handbrake while driving can cause significant damage to the vehicle's braking system, so it's best not to attempt emergency braking functions casually unless in an emergency. The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as a mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Additional information: 1. Correct usage of the electronic handbrake: With the brake pedal pressed and the vehicle stationary, pull the electronic handbrake button upward. The driver can see a red electronic handbrake symbol on the dashboard, indicating that the electronic handbrake is engaged. 2. How to release the electronic handbrake: Shift the gear into D, press the accelerator, and the electronic handbrake will release automatically; or press the brake pedal and push the electronic handbrake button downward.
