Where is the handbrake on the Honda Odyssey?
1 Answers
The Odyssey is equipped with an electronic parking brake, and the electronic parking brake button is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Some Odyssey models without an electronic parking brake use a foot brake design. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which use the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Compared with the traditional manual mechanical parking brake system, the electronic parking brake system has the following advantages: 1. The parking brake handle is eliminated in the cabin, providing more design space for the interior styling of the entire vehicle. 2. The parking brake is replaced by a button instead of the driver having to pull the parking brake handle with force, making it simple and labor-saving, and reducing the operational intensity for drivers, especially female drivers. 3. With the continuous development of automotive electronic parking control technology, the system can not only achieve basic functions such as static parking, static release (off), and automatic release (off), but also adds auxiliary functions such as automatic parking and dynamic parking.
