What is the difference between P gear and electronic handbrake?
1 Answers
The difference between P gear and electronic handbrake lies in their functions: P gear is a common gear position in automatic transmission models, designed to lock the vehicle's axle when stationary on a slope. The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, operating on the same principle as the mechanical handbrake—both utilize friction between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has shifted from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Automatic transmission allows the driver to control the accelerator pedal according to driving needs, automatically shifting into different gears based on engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions.
