What does it mean when the interlock function between EPB and gear shifting is activated?
1 Answers
EPB and gear shifting interlock function being activated refers to enabling the automatic parking mode. Below is relevant information about the automatic parking mode: 1. Function: Its purpose is to reliably keep the vehicle stationary without rolling even when the brake pedal is not pressed. This is a highly practical feature. For example, when waiting at a red light, with automatic parking engaged, there's no need to continuously press the brake pedal or shift to neutral and pull the handbrake. This reduces parking operations, making it more convenient and safer. 2. Working Principle: After activating the automatic parking function, the vehicle's computer detects when the driver presses the brake pedal and the vehicle comes to a complete stop, then sends a command to the ESP system to brake all four wheels. At this point, the brake pedal will feel like it's releasing pressure, and even after the driver releases the brake pedal, the vehicle will not roll.
