What to do if the Volkswagen Tiguan electronic handbrake cannot be released?

If the Volkswagen Tiguan electronic handbrake cannot be released, it may be due to a malfunction in the electronic handbrake system or the electronic handbrake actuator, and a diagnostic computer is required for troubleshooting. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with exterior dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. The Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 160, a maximum power of 118 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
Last week my Tiguan also had the electronic parking brake stuck issue. After struggling for hours, I realized it was a basic operation problem. First make sure you've pressed the brake pedal all the way down - some cars require deep pressing to release. If it's rainy or winter, the brake discs might be frozen. Don't force it - try pouring warm water near the brake pads. Also, keep a can of rust remover in your trunk - rusty brake pads can get stuck too, a spray of WD-40 can help in emergencies. Once my dead battery triggered the electronic parking brake protection, but it worked normally right after jump-starting. As a last resort, there's a small cover near the driver's left foot - pry it open and pull the yellow cable for manual release, though you'll need to crouch down to find it.
