What does it mean when the parking brake is released?

[SanCorbin]

When the parking brake is released, it simply means the handbrake is disengaged. The handbrake is also known as the parking brake, and nowadays many vehicles are equipped with electronic parking brakes or foot-operated "handbrakes". Relevant information about automatic parking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automatic parking, also known as AUTO-HOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. When this function is activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, there's no need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent switching between D to N or D to P. 2. Working Principle: The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides precise braking force through a slope sensor controlled by a system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal position. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the vehicle to start smoothly.
