What's the difference between electronic handbrake and manual handbrake?

The electronic handbrake of Pacific Auto Network is a technology to realize parking braking through electronic control. The manual brake controls the parking brake through the manipulator brake lever. The electronic handbrake can control the parking brake only by pressing the key. Manual braking requires pulling the parking brake handle to control the parking brake. The working principle of the two hand brakes is the same, and the parking brake is controlled by the friction between the brake disc and the brake pad.

The electronic handbrake has automatic release function, which can avoid the handbrake from starting. At present, most cars basically have electronic handbrake, so you don't have to worry about the safety of electronic handbrake. On the contrary, after long-term use, the mechanical hand brake is very easy to loosen or cannot stop.

After installing the electronic handbrake, some other functions can be added, such as automatic parking, which cannot be added by the mechanical hand brake. Automatic parking can greatly reduce the frequency of driver's hand braking. After the car stops, the system will automatically pull the hand brake for us, and the gas door can be automatically released when filling, which is very intelligent.

Some novices often forget to release the brakes when driving. If it is a manipulator brake, the hand brake is seriously worn or even damaged. And even if the electronic handbrake forgets to release the brake, most cars will automatically release it when they refuel. If you can't put the car automatically, you can't drive. The electronic handbrake is very tight and the rear wheel does not turn.
