1. The electronic handbrake
With the ever-changing automotive technology, car evolved from the mechanical to the electronic control direction. In the past only ultra-luxury car in order to see the electronic parking brake is gradually being widely used in high-class models, but many people still little knowledge of the electronic parking brake.
Electronic parking brake professional called an electronic parking brake system (EPB). This system replaces the conventional mechanical lever and cable tires, the integrated duration of the brake function and parking brake after temporary driving process, and the parking brake by an electronic control technology, technical upgrade point of view, a major step forward than the traditional hand brake mode used for long-term parking. In fact, it works the same with the mechanical hand brake, by friction brakes are generated by the brake pads to control the parking brake, but the control mode from the previous mechanical handbrake lever into an electronic button.
Electronic handbrake advantages of the : space-saving and safe
For the depot, the advent of electronic parking brake can be dispensed with a large heap traditional handbrake parts. Although the traditional hand brake parts compared with the electronic parking brake assembly, not necessarily the price advantage, but the space savings (savings are usually in the middle of the front row) may have a greater usefulness; the entire electronics module can work handbrake used in most of the models, thus reducing production costs of this technology will spread to lower-level models.
For the driver, the emergence of electronic handbrake, especially AUTO HOLD appears, it can reduce the burden on the right foot and right hand in the traffic jam; because the power is not enough to eliminate the tight pull the handbrake (especially some petite Ms) and any inconvenience caused.
The most important thing may be many users will ignore the traditional handbrake will lock the rear wheel, except I really need to think outside the flick in motion the need to pull the handbrake. Now with the process if necessary emergency brake, hand brake button is pressed, will select the appropriate electronic parking brake braking the vehicle speedForce to ensure the safety of driving, thus further improve active safety performance. But we can also have this reaction is believed to have been driving up to people in case of emergency.
Electronic handbrake drawbacks: high cost and easy to replace
On the downside is the reason will be more personal preference, no handbrake, no longer able to control independent rear dynamic; they can not afford the high-powered drive, usually the occasional freak right flick is also exfoliation, or ask the driver to drive forget it. There is a battery failure of electronic parking brake will function the same problems, to facilitate the entire vehicle electronic parts might bring has caused a lot of trouble in a small aspect.
