What does E/P mean on a car?
1 Answers
E/P on a vehicle is the switch for the electronic parking brake system. Introduction to the electronic parking brake system: This system replaces the traditional lever handbrake and electronic handbrake button. It calculates the slope through a built-in longitudinal acceleration sensor in its computer, thereby determining the downward force caused by gravity when the vehicle is on a slope. The computer applies braking force to the rear wheels via an electric motor to balance the downward force, allowing the vehicle to remain stationary on a slope. When turning off the electronic parking brake, it only takes effect when the brake pedal is pressed again, which helps prevent accidents caused by carelessness during stop-and-go traffic for automatic transmission vehicles. Advantages of the electronic parking brake system: Simple and effortless: Parking only requires pressing a button, eliminating the need to manually pull up like with a traditional handbrake. Space-saving: By removing the traditional manual brake handle, it provides better interior design space and button layout options. More practical functions: With the continuous development of (EPB) electronic handbrake technology, the electronic parking brake system now includes auxiliary functions such as static parking and dynamic parking.
