What does it mean when the parking brake is activated?

[McMalachi]

Parking brake activated means the auto-hold function has been engaged. Here are the specific details about the auto-hold function: 1. Advantages: (1) Prevents rolling: In situations requiring short stops like traffic lights, the system automatically brakes the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling; During hill starts, the system automatically brakes to prevent backward sliding, and releases the wheels automatically when moving forward. (2) Auto-locking: No need to pull the handbrake when parking and locking, as the system automatically brakes the wheels (only available on certain models). 2. Disadvantages: (1) Unable to lift brake: If auto-hold remains activated during reversing, you cannot control the vehicle's slow movement by lifting the brake pedal, which may lead to accidents with improper throttle control. (2) Jerky sensation: Early versions of auto-hold function may produce noticeable jerks during operation, resulting in poor user experience.
