What are the types of handbrakes?
1 Answers
There are three main types of handbrakes: Electronic handbrake: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, utilizing the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. Traditional handbrake: The mechanical handbrake is the parking brake commonly seen in most vehicle models. Typically located within easy reach of the driver's right hand, it is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on slopes or during parking. Auto hold: Auto hold, or automatic braking, works by using a computer to control the parking mechanism. When temporary stopping is required, the computer controls the electronic handbrake to stop the vehicle automatically.
