What does it mean when the EPB is automatically applied?

[AmaraMarie]

The meaning of 'EPB is automatically applied' is that the vehicle's automatic parking system has been activated. Automatic parking is a function that automatically applies the brakes. After activating the automatic parking mode, if the vehicle is in D gear but does not move for a period of time, the electronic parking brake will engage on its own. Below is a detailed introduction: Working Principle: The electronic parking brake (EPB) is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Advantages: The automatic parking function can automatically activate four-wheel braking when the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or on a slope. Even in D gear or N gear, there is no need to keep the foot on the brake or use the handbrake, as the car remains stationary. To release the stationary state, simply lightly press the accelerator to disengage the brake, thereby improving the vehicle's safety performance.
