The various high-tech configurations in the car have a lot of convenience when using them, and if you don't know how to use them, it's really a waste. There are some hidden functions that we don't usually use, but they are very useful when it is critical, and can even save lives.
Now more and more cars began to use the electronic handbrake, this configuration has 3 hidden functions, many people still don't know, today Xiao Li will tell you about the three major functions of the electronic handbrake, I hope to help you.
Many people are accustomed to using the traditional mechanical handbrake, and have developed a habit of using the car for this kind of mechanical handbrake, such as when waiting for the traffic light, the car with the mechanical handbrake, almost no one will consider hanging the neutral gear to pull the handbrake to wait for the traffic light.
Even if it is a manual transmission model, it is all in neutral gear and the brake is over.
However, after a long time, you will feel very tired when you step on the brakes, but pulling the handbrake is a very troublesome thing in everyone's opinion, and it is very unnecessary. Switching to an electronic parking brake is completely different, and when you wait for the traffic light, it can make it convenient and easy to use.
My friend's car has the configuration of electronic handbrake, every time he waits for the traffic light, he doesn't have to think about it, just hang it in D gear and pull the handbrake, and after the green light, the handbrake will be automatically lifted when he steps on the accelerator, which is very convenient.
He said that the advantage of this is that the feet are not tired, and it can also prevent the danger of releasing the brakes due to distraction in D gear (many cars do not need to step on the accelerator in D gear, and the vehicle will have a speed of 5 kilometers per hour as soon as the brakes are released).
If you are worried about wasting oil while holding the D gear, you can switch back to the N gear, and when the light is green, you can directly hang the D gear and step on the accelerator, and the handbrake will be automatically lifted, which is very convenient.
As the saying goes, no matter how good the technology is, it must be supplemented by equipment, and if the technology is not hard enough, it must be assisted by configuration. When driving every day, there are many places where you need to use the skill of starting half-hill.
Novice friends' driving skills are not very proficient, and it is quite torturous to start half-slope when encountering some complex intersections.
For example, at the traffic light intersection on the uphill section, it is necessary to do 200% without slipping, after all, there is a row of cars behind, and there is no place for you to hide.
The exit of some underground parking lots will set the toll booth at the end of the uphill slope, which is very unreasonable, and some small displacement models are really easy to slip backwards after stopping and then starting.
At this time, you can use the hidden function of the electronic handbrake, just like waiting for the traffic light, stop and pull the handbrake directly, keep it in the state of D gear, at this time you will hold the speed, and when you start, you will directly step on the brake, and the electronic handbrake will become the function of uphill assist.
If it is the kind of electronic parking brake that will not automatically release the brakes, you can go uphill when you feel the engine shake and then release it, and the automatic transmission car will not be suffocated by the brakes casually.
Many places have long downhill sections, such as Yunnan has a 27-kilometer-long downhill with a 27-kilometer descent of 1,100 meters, known as the Death Slope, where many people have had accidents.
When driving on such a long downhill road, novice friends may not take advantage of the engine deceleration skills, and often step on the brakes to cause the brakes to fail, and then the third hidden function of the electronic parking brake will be used.
When the brake fails, don't panic, just pull the electronic parking brake all the time, grab the steering wheel, and the vehicle will slowly slow down until it comes to a stable stop, which is a life-saving function.
The electronic parking brake function is very practical, if you have enough budget to buy a car, it is recommended to choose a car with the electronic parking brake function, these 3 hidden functions are very practical.
