When the electronic parking brake is engaged, if the driver shifts into D gear and presses the accelerator pedal, the electronic parking brake will automatically release. The electronic parking brake achieves parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, with the only difference being that the control method is now via an electronic button. It integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term parking brake function after stopping, and implements parking brake technology through electronic control.

That time when I encountered an electronic parking brake jam during a road trip, I still remember the release procedure. The Magotan has an electronic parking brake button near the gear lever—normally, you just need to press it while stepping on the brake pedal. But if the button fails or there's no power, don't panic! Open the trunk, and you'll find an emergency release pull ring hidden in the left lining. Pull it hard backward to manually release the brake. However, I must remind you that this method is only for emergencies, like when towing is needed or in case of sudden malfunctions. After I pulled it last time, I went to the 4S shop for a check, and the technician said the issue might have been caused by moisture in the system module. Remember, never perform this operation on a slope—the wheels might roll after release, so it's best to place a stone for added safety.

As a seasoned driver who has owned three Magotans, I've discovered some clever tricks for forcibly releasing the electronic parking brake. The most straightforward method is locating the emergency pull cord in the trunk - just tug it 2-3 cm to disengage the brake. However, the key lies in preparation: ensure the gear is in N or P position, and ideally turn off the engine. Once when my friend's car had a dead , pulling the emergency cord didn't work because the control unit had completely lost power. So if the button becomes unresponsive, first check the trunk battery voltage. When all else fails, don't force it - calling roadside assistance is the safest bet as they carry professional decoders for forced reset.

Here's a practical tip: Pull open the left inner lining of the Magotan's trunk, and you'll find an orange cord inside. Pulling it all the way down triggers the emergency release. However, there are three important notes: First, the vehicle must be completely stationary before operating. Second, this action will trigger a warning light, so visit a repair shop promptly to read the fault codes after release. I once forgot about the warning light and drove for two weeks until the ABS system alerted. Additionally, extra caution is needed for versions with auto-hold function - the auto-hold might fail after emergency release, requiring slightly more throttle input than usual when starting off.

As a female car owner, I'm most afraid of electronic device failures, so I've specifically researched emergency methods for electronic parking brakes. The physical release for the Magotan is hidden on the left side of the trunk—just lift the felt liner to see the yellow-and-white pull cord. Before operating, make sure all passengers exit the vehicle. Fully releasing the parking brake takes about 5 seconds, during which you should keep lightly pressing the brake pedal. Important reminder: This operation must be completed in one go—repeated pulling can damage the cable. Last winter, I used this method when my car was frozen, and afterward, I noticed slight abnormal noises from the brake pads. It's advisable to have a technician inspect the braking system as soon as possible after releasing it.

Having dealt with numerous Magotan electronic parking brake failures, here's an emergency solution for you: Open the left cover panel in the trunk to locate the emergency release device, then pull the yellow buckle horizontally for about 4 centimeters. However, the key is to analyze the cause. Common possibilities include: ignition switch failure causing the system to not up; brake switch position sensor malfunction; or the simplest case - poor contact of the parking brake button. It's advisable to keep a spare electronic parking brake button in the glove compartment so you can replace it yourself if trouble arises on the road. If all else fails, try disconnecting the power for five minutes to reboot the system - sometimes this yields unexpected results.
