What is a Parking Brake Lever?

[MacJune]

The operating device that enables the vehicle body to be fixed on the ground or a certain plane without relative movement. Below is an introduction to the parking brake: 1. System: The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB: Electrical-Park-Brake) integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes the parking brake through electronic control. The electronic handbrake achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Advantage: Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. The AUTOHOLD automatic parking function, however, provides precise parking force through a controller based on data from a slope sensor. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor.
