Is there any benefit to changing a car to an electronic parking brake?

Advantages of electronic parking brake:

First, the operation is convenient and labor-saving.

The operation of the electronic handbrake is very convenient, especially for petite girls, and the handbrake can be easily locked without the need to pull the traditional mechanical handbrake lever.

2. Save indoor space.

The traditional handbrake is all mechanical structure, without any assistance, so every time we pull the handbrake, we need to pull the handbrake lever up, and after pulling up, it will often occupy a large driving space. Compared with the traditional mechanical handbrake, the electronic handbrake is like a small control button on the center console, which not only does not take up too much space.

Third, it can improve the grade of the whole vehicle.

This is also the reason why many mid-to-high-end models like to use the electronic parking brake, when a friend sits in the car, when waiting for the red light, as long as the electronic parking brake is gently operated, the car can be braked.

Disadvantages of electronic parking brakes:

First, stability is difficult to guarantee.

I believe that people who say that the electronic handbrake is not good must be more worried about its stability, after all, it is an electronic device. Compared to other parts of the car, the braking system has the highest requirements for safety and stability. In the final analysis, electronic products are still things that use electricity, and if the electronic handbrake fails, then there is a high probability that an accident will occur.

Although the probability of these situations may be low, they are still possible, and if they do, the consequences are unimaginable.

Second, the sense of control is not good when the ramp starts.

When starting on a ramp, many drivers are accustomed to using the mechanical handbrake to prevent the vehicle from stopping on the ramp or not rolling when starting (except for automatic transmission models). However, the electronic parking brake will be complained by many drivers about the poor sense of control when starting on the ramp, of course, this is only determined by everyone's driving habits. People who are used to the electronic parking brake find it very convenient.

Third, there are potential safety hazards.

Generally, the electronic handbrake will be equipped with the "autohold" function, which is really convenient, especially for Madahar car owners, who often forget to pull or release the handbrake when waiting for a red light or temporary stop. However, there are also great safety risks, and the electronic parking brake of some cars is unlocked by pressing the accelerator lightly. If you press the electronic parking brake while waiting at the toll booth, but at this point if one of you accidentally clicks the accelerator, the car will run out of ......

Fourth, there is a possibility of water ingress.

Some models of electronic handbrake have a cup holder near the handbrake, and if you accidentally knock over the cup, it may lead to the failure of electronic components, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, many electronic parking brake types have also canceled the cup holder near the electronic parking brake, just to prevent the occurrence of such incidents.

You can take a look first.

Change to electronic brake to save space and facilitate operation.

Compared with ordinary cable handbrakes, the most obvious advantage of electronic handbrakes is that they save space and are easy to operate.

The length of the traditional handbrake lever is generally 15 20cm, and it does not include the limiter and spring mechanism under the lever, and the mechanical structure often occupies a large part of the armrest box space. And when pulling the handbrake, it still requires a certain amount of strength, which is not very friendly to some female car owners with little strength.

The electronic parking brake only needs a button, which significantly saves space, and the extra space can be used to put wallets, coins, etc.

Some electronic parking brakes have automatic parking functions.

If the original car is equipped with ESP, the modified original electronic parking brake will often integrate the automatic parking function at the same time.

The automatic parking function is the function to help you automatically brake, when waiting for traffic lights, traffic jams and going up and down slopes, the automatic parking system can use the data from the accelerator pedal sensor, clutch distance sensor, slope sensor and other sensors to calculate, and automatically enable the four-wheel brake through ESP, which can liberate our right foot when stepping on the brake.

This is equivalent to a bonus effect of changing the original electronic parking brake.

In the event of a brake failure, the brake can be applied with an electronic handbrake.

In the event of a brake failure, braking with an electronic handbrake is far safer than a mechanical handbrake.

The principle of the mechanical handbrake is to directly control the brake caliper of the rear wheel by pulling the cable, so that the rear wheel is locked. When the car is driving at high speed and the brakes fail, if the mechanical handbrake is pulled, the rear wheels will lock up immediately, and the grip will be lost, and the side will slip or even roll over.

If the electronic brake is pulled up at high speed, it is equivalent to the ESP computer helping us brake, and it also has the effect of stabilizing the body, so the electronic handbrake is much safer in an emergency, and the braking force controlled by the computer is much greater.

If the traditional handbrake is too tight, it will age prematurely, but the electronic one will not.

The traditional handbrake can already work normally when it is pulled to 70%, but many people are afraid of unstable parking, so they will pull the handbrake to the top.

Pulling the handbrake at the highest position for a long time will cause the metal cable to be overstretched, accelerate the deformation, and finally even pull to the top and can't brake (the bicycle brake has been used for a long time, and the line is not tight enough). Moreover, when the handbrake is pulled to the top, the spring is in a state of high tension for a long time, which will cause the spring to lose its elasticity quickly, resulting in the handbrake not being able to fully return to its position.

The electronic handbrake is computer-controlled, and the amplitude of the motor is the same every time, so it avoids overstretching.

The advantage of changing the car to an electronic parking brake is that you don't have to bother with effort, and you don't have to brake too hard.

Advantages of electronic parking brake Space-saving.

Since the electronic handbrake only needs to be arranged with one button in the car, it saves a large part of the space in the car compared to the mechanical handbrake, and this part of the space can be used by car manufacturers to better design the storage space or make the center console more beautiful.

With the rapid development of automotive technology, automobiles are gradually developing from mechanical control to electronic direction. In the past, the electronic parking brake, which could only be seen in ultra-luxury cars, has gradually been widely used in mid-to-high-end models, but many people still don't know much about the electronic parking brake.

Benefits of Electronic Parking Brake:

The electronic parking brake specialty is called the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). The system replaces the traditional mechanical lever and tire cable, integrates the temporary braking in the driving process and the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes the parking brake technology by electronic control, which is a big step forward from the perspective of technical upgrading compared with the traditional hand parking brake mode used for a long time. In fact, its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, which is to control the parking brake through the friction generated by the brake disc and the brake pads, but the control mode has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

The biggest advantage of the electronic parking brake is that it not only saves space but also is highly safe.

Disadvantages of electronic parking brakes:

1. The disadvantage will be more due to personal preference, without the handbrake, you can no longer control the rear dynamics independently; I can't afford a high-horsepower rear-wheel drive car, and the right to occasionally flick my tail has also been stripped away.

2. The disadvantage of the electronic parking brake is that the cost will be high, and the dynamics of the rear of the car cannot be controlled independently.

3. More importantly, when the car battery fails, the function of the electronic handbrake will also have problems.

4. The convenience brought by the electronic accessories of the whole car will also cause great inconvenience in some small problems.

The electronic handbrake is not yet popular, and friends who are ready to buy a car can choose which handbrake car to buy.

The electronic parking brake is easy to operate, but it is not recommended to retrofit it, especially when it comes to the safety of the braking system.

The electronic parking brake can bring convenience and space-saving, but the cost is slightly higher. What's more, when the battery in the car fails, the function of the electronic parking brake will also be problematic. It is common for conventional parking brakes to be drum type.

The drum parking brake is divided into two types, one is the parking brake integrated in the drum service brake; The other is behind the transmission, in front of the propeller shaft, which is also called the ** parking brake.

In terms of simple chain lifting, for novices, manual transmission uphill start will not slip, for careless people are not afraid to pull the handbrake, especially when parked on the slope, it is more convenient.

The benefits of retrofitting an electronic parking brake for a car are as follows:

1.Convenience: The electronic handbrake is more convenient to operate than the traditional handbrake. With the push of a button, you can make an emergency stop and de-parking, avoiding the cumbersome steps of the traditional handbrake that requires a hard pull on the handlebar.

2.Higher safety: The electronic handbrake has higher safety, which can reduce the situation that the handbrake is thought to have been tightened but is not actually tightened, because the electronic handbrake will have a prompt sound or light to remind the driver when the hail button is pulled, so as to avoid falling off the slope and other situations.

3.Convenient parking: The electronic parking brake can automatically maintain the braking state, without the need for the driver to maintain the braking state of the vehicle when parking, especially in the long-term parking state is more practical.

The handbrake equipped with the vehicle can be changed to an electronic handbrake, but the owner needs to apply for the record at the local vehicle traffic management center before changing the electronic handbrake, and then go to the professional modification center to modify the vehicle. Try to avoid their own modification, because the modification of the electronic parking brake, need to change part of the vehicle's circuit, if non-staff operation, the circuit connection is incorrect, easy to damage other parts of the vehicle, if the wrong line may threaten the owner's driving safety.

The use of the electronic handbrake equipped with the vehicle is much more convenient than the manual handbrake, when the handbrake needs to be used, there is no need to pull the handbrake lever as hard as the manual handbrake, the main force of the car is not enough, the handbrake will not be in place, and the electronic handbrake is much smaller than the space occupied by the manual handbrake, and only need to reserve a button position.

Compared with the traditional handbrake, the electronic handbrake does save a lot of space, and it is not effortless to turn on the electronic handbrake, and it is not easy to get stuck. In terms of practicality and sense of use, it is indeed a good choice. Now it has gradually become the standard equipment of the car, and its use is still relatively good.
