1 Answers
The handbrake on a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle is an electronic parking brake, located on the left side of the steering column, marked with a button labeled 'P'. Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles use electronic parking brakes that do not require manual operation; the parking brake is automatically engaged and tightened when the engine is turned off and the doors are closed. For manual operation, there is a button labeled 'P' below the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing it engages the handbrake, while pulling it releases the handbrake. Definition of the electronic parking brake: It is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Working principle of the electronic parking brake: The working principle of the electronic parking system is the same as that of the manual mechanical parking brake system, achieving parking through the friction clamping between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc. However, the control method is replaced by electronic buttons and motor actions instead of the original manual operation and mechanical linkage. Therefore, the system is fully referred to as the electronically controlled mechanical parking brake system.
