How to Use an Electric Parking Brake Correctly?

The electric parking brake has become a basic device for modern cars today. It is much easier to use than the old handbrake because you don't have to press the unlock button first and then hold the long handbrake handle to push it up and down. Sometimes, the lock button gets stuck and the handbrake can't be used.

But for the "electric parking brake" that is very easy to use, just press or pull the switch button lightly, the electric parking brake system will work immediately and there will be a (P) symbol on the button when the electric parking brake is activated. Another system that works together is the Auto Hold / Brake Hold button. When you want to park temporarily or stop at a red light, just stop the car completely. The system will automatically hold the brake. But the working system may be different depending on the design of the various car manufacturers.
