How does the Audi A1's electronic parking brake work?

I'm curious about the electronic parking brake feature in the Audi A1. Can you explain how it works and the benefits it offers? Thanks in advance!

Hi Emily, the Audi A1's electronic parking brake is a convenient and modern alternative to traditional hand brakes. It works by using an electric motor to apply the brake pads to the rear wheels, instead of using a physical lever. This offers a smoother and more controlled braking experience, while also freeing up space in the cabin. Additionally, the electronic brake automatically engages when the engine is turned off and disengages when the car starts moving, making it a safer and more convenient option.

Hi Emily, the Audi A1's electronic parking brake is activated by pushing a button on the center console. This allows for precise parking on inclines and helps prevent the car from rolling backwards. It also eliminates the risk of forgetting to release the hand brake before driving off. I highly recommend using it for easy and stress-free parking.
