What does the letter P with a circle mean on a car?
1 Answers
The P button in the middle of the car is the electronic parking brake. Here are the relevant details: 1. Working Principle: The electronic parking brake works on the same principle as the mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Electronic Parking Brake: The electronic parking brake, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term parking braking function, and realizes parking braking through electronic control. The electronic parking brake extends from the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTO-HOLD. The application of AUTO-HOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped. When the automatic electronic parking brake is activated, it can prevent unnecessary sliding of the vehicle.
