I love these videos! All the sh*t I've been tempted to do while driving but too scared to attempt. Thanks for risking your car and your life for the rest of us. Hero!
LOL ! Thanks :) I don't know about risking my life though ;) These videos are pretty harmless and done under safe conditions :)
I know, but it sounded better that way. :)
AutoVlog you are from Sweden is that correct?
not all heros wear capes
AutoVlog theyre extremely dangerous pal, you never know if the car goes kahboom!
Has Ford voided your warranty yet? lol
Is the car still under warranty?
Better question is : Has the FORD motor blown up on him yet
Ford will look for any little excuse to void your warranty and have their service tech very well trained on this.
😂😂
Good to know. I often wondered if my spouse had a stroke or heart attack, how I'd get my foot over and on the brake while trying to steer the vehicle to safety. Now I know about the electronic brake. Very informative video.
exactly!
I know I’m very late, but this can actually be dangerous. The electronic brakes can cause the tires to lock up, stop spinning all together, especially in older cars, if you are at highway speeds this can cause you to spin out and cause you to wreck
@@parker_stroud9445 Only if you yank a mechanical ebrake, I doubt they would just let you lock up your wheels
@@parker_stroud9445as opposed to the alternative in his described situation and doing nothing 🤔
This video should be on blast somehow - not sure many people know this! I ran this little experiment myself on my Lexus GS350. I had always wondered if it worked. So, like you, on a quiet back road with no traffic, I pulled the e-brake button and it beeped and actuated the e-brakes. Like you said, you have to hold the button for the amount of time you want or need braking, and it disengages the second you let it go. It's great to know this option exists, and I don't know of any owners are ever told this when purchasing a vehicle with it. Great video man!
You know the acid's good when you start feeling smells.
lol
Ok
4:47 😂
That's hilarious 😂
Great videos! What I like about your videos is that you explore all the bases and angles of the situation through video documentation. I was also curious about these things and your videos were very informative and educational. Thank you for sacrificing your brake pads for us!
get out of the way lady I am trying to make a you tube video Lady : I am trying to use the phone
haha
Catching them Pokémon
alot of manufacturers have this as a safety feature. in VAG cars (as an example) the button applies braking to all corners, when going at speed. this is for example if the driver is having a stroke, the passenger can grab the steering wheel and pull on the e brake button to bring the car to a stop. even the abs system works if it's needed, making it safe to do this on snow etc.
I drive a 2016 Mondeo (German Fusion) and the other day while parking I was a bit distracted because I was on the phone (via bluetooth speaker of course) and engaged the parking brake a little too early. Car stopped hard. It threw me into the seatbelt. Coffee fucked my pants up. After I stopped being pissed I wondered what would happen at higher speeds and there you are uploading this video. Interesting stuff. Keep it up!
Excellent video! I know what the manual says but so much better seeing it in actual operation. I was surprised to see that the parking lights actually light as applied as well.
It's crazy how often I come to your channel to see if you've uploaded yet. I love every single one of your videos. keep up the good work!
Thank you! If you're subscribed you should get a notification of every time I upload.. remember to click the "bell" right by the subscription button so you get those notifications :)
AutoVlog trust me I have the bell on, I just come to make sure i haven't missed it :)
That's what I thought it will do, but it's good to get some actual experimental results. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
You're awesome man, love your videos/channel and you seem like such a cool dude. I wish the best for you.
Great Information. Your videos have made me really impressed by Ford's newest models, especially the Fusion.
AutoVlog I just subscribed to your channel. Your videos started popping up in my suggestions, so I have already watched a few. I really like your content. This is a channel that I will be subscribed to for a long time. I really like cars. Keep up the good work. Watching from the great state of Nc.
I hope to be a regular in your comment section. 😎👊👍👏👏😉
Thanks ! I appreciate it ! 👊👊
I have the 2016 ford fusion and what is happing is these systems are independent it has both brake like regular car and rear has an electric component that engage the piston to stop the car it only works as long as you hold switch once you let go it let's it go. also if you have parking brake on and you take off it will also release the brake.
Hello, I find your presentations very informative and helps me a lot to better understand the new technologies implant on new vehicles, thank you
This was actually something I did wonder about these electronic Parking brakes, so this was very good to know since most new cars comes with this feature and I have been a bit both wondering about it and kinda been a bit negative to make such thing digital as I don't really like all things to be electric these days. My theory of how it work is well it is like before a separate wire as before, only different is that it is a electric motor that pulls it now and not the handle you once pulled manually, which s the sound you hear. But thank you for this video and continue to make these "WHILE driving" kind of videos.
thank you for risking your fusion to do this I wanted to know but if something happened to my fathers car he would beat my ass
lol
Forgott3n M3mori3s dont forget he risked his brake pads haha
My personal take is the E-brake actuates an electric motor to hold the callipers down. The regular/service brakes by the foot is hydraulic operation, and the E-brake is electric, so the systems are redundant for when the hydraulics fail so the electric actuated E-brake can bring you to a safe stop.
Not necessarily... The electric brake is not as powerful as the hydraulic one. It may help to reach a stop, but it is not guaranteed.
It is also very interesting to use the electronic parking brake on snow. When the brake is applied rear wheels slips, in that moment the control unit realises it and the break is automatically released and if you still hold the button it is reapplied again. This keeps happening again and again, so it is like ABS but much slower because the process takes about 2-3 seconds.
I don’t know why people don’t understand this but it’s called an emergency brake They all legally have to be separate systems from the main braking system which includes ABS
@@heisenberg3868 They said it’s LIKE ABS, not it is ABS
@@10293 not what I’m talking about
@@heisenberg3868 is ABS on front brakes, rear brakes, or all of them, so rear brakes are separated from front brakes system ? fusion 15/16 awd
My daughter is having a fear of her breaks suddenly going out, I found this video and I watched it, then we watched it together, and I feel like it helped, instead of telling her ohh don’t worry that’s not going to happen, I always try to just go with it and say ok, let’s get educated and have a plan for what would be the best actions to take, I feel like we both learned something and now we both have a plan of action after watching Several different videos, Thank you very much for making this video, for us it’s been helpful. 😊❤
The old simple mechanical cable setup makes me feel safer than the new e-brake setup when it comes to a fully redundant and dead simple emergency brake setup.
But the e-brake does seem to be a separate system for the most part. Just relies on electricity and algorithms to work.
You should teach her the Scandinavian flick so she can drift her way out of tricky situations 🤣
The parking brakes are together with the regular brakes in the rear. An electric portion inside the caliper applies the rear brakes to stop the vehicle. It is operating the normal brakes pads against the rotors. Besides more brake wear in the rear as the rear brakes are solely stopping the vehicle, shouldn't hurt anything.
I just LOVE the instrument cluster of your Ford Fusion.. wish they sold it in my country would love to buy one of these.
Where do you live ?
AutoVlog in my country the ford fusion is actually called a mondeo
india obviously if you buy the modeo its the exact same car. same shit different badging
India, we usually get trimmed down variants of International cars with smaller less powerful engines and stripped down features. I asked Ford India and they said they strip off features because of insanely high taxes in India, so to keep the price low they have to give smaller engines and remove extra features like productivity screen. The awesome Ford and Chevy trucks are not even herd of here. (I love the F150)
Your a legend man, keep up the excelent content
Keep up the great job with your vids!👌
hey dude, nice video. like the details, and commitment(smell). I have a 13 fusion, se, fwd, and can tell you, after just servicing my brakes...the backs look a little funny. there are electrical actuators on the rear calipers, to manually squeeze the rear brakes. if you're going straight, it only seems to use the rear brakes. if you try and drift, I think it kicks in the fronts, to keep that from happening. nice to know it kicks the brake lights on too.
It does the same thing in my 2015 BMW X5. I'm glad to know it works the same in other cars with electronic parking brakes
Many thanks for this and your other "what if" video's. Better your car being buggered up, than mine.
Although there is a delay in the brake being applied, in most instances it operates with the ABS to prevent the rear wheels from locking up and overtaking the front end.
AutoVlog Nice Video! Keep it up with the great work!
Thanks ! Will do :)
Thanks for this video. It is really good for safety when you really need it.
Good to know!
love these "what if" videos.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for! :)
Good stuff. This answers to the people who says things against these cool features.
As an example, when someone asks isn't this a dangerous feature where I don't know whats gonna happen if someone accidentally press this button while I am driving.
Firstly, breaking happens only if someone pulls this button where a press on the button is used to release the break. (V r safe).
Secondly, the way how it reacts vary based on the current speed.
Most importantly it keeps on activating the break only if someone is keep on pulling the button while you are driving on an higher speed.
This is another smart release in the automotive industry.
Thanks good to know. I have a Maserati with elec brake and hope it works as it did in the car in your demo.
I have a citroen ds4 and in the manual it says the parking brake will not function in motion unless you pull and hold the switch, when I assume it will brake as long as you pull it. But it functions differently to yours (perhaps because yours is an auto, mine manual) in that to release the brake you simply drive off as normal, you feel a slight resistance and release as you do so, but the brake automatically releases. You learn to factor this in to make the release as smooth as possible. You can also pull the switch to release it, but you have to have your foot on the brake pedal at the same time which is a bind, so I never do this. To be honest I'm glad I switched to an electric parking brake, because I had got into the habit of using slight application of the manual handbrake to bring the car to a stop the final few metres, which is bad news for the rear brakes!
Some cars (this varies widely) use a separate set of brake pads exclusively for the handbrake (I know E39 BMW 5 Series does) These are in behind the rear brake disc and run on their own part of the disc. When you stop and park the car and apply the handbrake, the pads just squeeze and thats it. That area of the disc never gets pads running on it full time as they're always retracted during normal driving.
What a BMW mechanic told me once, was to do about 15mph and engage the handbrake briefly a couple of times until the car stops. This scours rust and crap off the handbrake area of the disc. Once every 3 months or so.
I have a 2017 Volvo XC60 which has an electronic parking brake. If it's applied whilst driving braking will be applied to all wheels, as if the foot brake were pressed. You can also pull away with the handbrake applied in both forward or reverse and the handbrake is automatically released when the accelerator pedal is pressed. The manual says that the handbrake can be used as an emergency brake. As with your Ford Fusion the brake lights also illuminate when the car is in emergency braking mode.
Can you review a Ford fusion energi titanium? it would be very helpful to me. I know you already reviewed the Ford fusion and is there anything different from the energi to the standard fusion?
The idea came to my mind and i found this video. Thanks for tryimg for me
2:00 it is safety feature as far as I remember when you want to slow down you downshift the manual gear but in automatic you do that kinda for emergencies?
I dunno what it's like to feel a smell ;) but love your channel. keep up the great work
Thanks so much for this it’s really helpful.
I use to have a BMW 530I Auto. it had a manual handbreak. when parked on a hill with snow on road the manual handbreak came in handy. Put foot on break and place car in drive. pull handbreak up and release foot break. that allows you to steer car where you want to go. Release handbreak slow to allowed to move but not all the way. Hold handbreak so the car does not go to fast down hill. traction control helped well going down hill in snow. then relese handbreak. I was woundering if this is possable to to with a ford mondeo titanium with automatic gearbox.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
That's actually really cool. My only gripe with the new electronic system is that the parking brake on my old '88 Accord is separate from my actual brakes. So when I blew my brake lines in front I could still get home with the e-brake. I'm doubting you can do that with this system, since I'm guessing the "parking brake" just uses the actual brakes by applying pressure to the master cylinder. Thanks for the vid! =]
Do you think it would the same on a citroen c5 aircross
The handbook on my u k. Vw Tiguan auto. Tells you in the situation of anything happening to the driver where he ceases to control the car, pull up and hold up the automatic parking brake and the vehicle will come to a halt in a straight line. Marvellous safety feature.
Your videos are awesome do more
Its written in most user manuals...the EPB functions as an emergency brake when you hold it up while in motion - so just in case your pedal is faulty or a cable snapped. There are warnings about not using it, unless in a real emergency.
hi how are you i want to ask you something how many km you go when you full tank your car ?
What happens if you put a car into reverse while driving forward?
At least with a mechanical transmission, you'll grind your gears _really_ bad. The faster you're moving (by that I mean the faster your drive shaft and the faster your crankshaft, and by extension the gears within your transmission are moving), the more the gears will grind, perhaps to the point of destroying your transmission.
This is because of two reasons. One, the sheer size of the reverse gear, or lack thereof. It's tiny and fragile compared to the other gears, which is why it's ill-advised to abuse it too much, as well as why you can't accelerate very fast in reverse. Reason two is because the reverse gear doesn't have a synchronizor ring like the other gears have. The synchronizor ring is used to make sure that, when engaging gears in the transmission, the gears are rotating at the same speed so that they can slot together smoothly. Without this ring, shifting into reverse while moving results in jamming a moving gear into a still one at high speed.
Of course, this is all speculation, as I've never tested any of this, and I'm no expert on transmissions, and I don't know how this would differ if attempted in an automatic transmission, but in any case, you should never shift into reverse unless the car is at a complete stop, for the reasons listed above.
*manual transmission, not mechanical, sorry
For my 2006 Ford Mondeo with an automatic transmission there is an electronic lock. So above 5km/h I can shift in reverse, but it will stay in Neutral.
Hope that answers your question ;)
it wont apply while you a driving forward
Actually, Mia Ray, it's not the gears themselves that you will be grinding, it's the shifting sleeve's grooves with the gear's hub teeth that will grind. There is no synchroniser on the reverse gear. The shifting sleeve will not lock to the reverse gear. If you somehow manage to lock everything up, the transmission could be destroyed and the engine will definitely stall.
Is there a place to hook up a tow rope if vehicle gets stuck. I have 2015 fusion as well, can't find a hook up spot?
Even though there is a possibility of damaging your car (nice titanium fusion, btw, I have a 15 fusion se appearance package w/spoiler. fog lights, and power seats), thanks for doing this hi-demand video. I also live where there's snow and ice in the winter and was wondering what would happen if I couldn't stop because i was sliding on ice and tried to apply the emergency brake. The brake lights illuminating is also a nice feature.
Finally what I subscribed for!
Mike, Ford should give you a car for all the great videos you've done about their vehicles or at least some kind of reward as you have been somewhat of a rep for them. Think about how many cars people have purchased because of your detailed reviews. Happy New Year!
What were to happen if you had it on and then you slowed down to 5 or 10 would it automatically apply then? even if your not pulling the button.
will be waiting for more videos
Thanks. Winter is here and I wanted to know if I could fish tail using the electronic e-brake, and then release it while moving.
Cool. Love these videos! I wonder if the power lift gate button on the key fob of say an Escape/Edge/Explorer for instance will let it open at speed?
hmm.. never thought of that one.. I'm pretty sure it wont let you do that though ;)
klc317 When the vehicle is started the fob stops working smart key or not
klc317 I tried it in a 2017 explorer platinum and it just beeped on me very loudly
For my 15 F-150, I can use the lock/unlock while driving.
Adjusting patio door catches
in the 2017 Grand Scenic from Renault it actually attempts to brake, but is released just after engaged (too much power, so the system sees you's driving, safety feature). I am wondering what happens on snow/ice. Will try - of course at low speeds and when there's no one around and I can't hit anything - like an industrual complex.
Good to know. Thanks!
Excelent as always👍
is this ford fusion AWD? will it make a difference from FWD or RWD?
Thank you, Matt. As a new owner of a 2017 Escape. I'm finding your videos very helpful.
Appreciate for enlightment.. curiosity answered 👍
Very helpful, now I know that I can use it like the old type hand brake, thank you
Yeah it better work! like you said if your main brakes fail it's important to have your emergency brake work, I prefer a mechanical cable emergency brake, seems more trustworthy
The parking brake should be independant to the main brake system. There is a few reason for this, but the two main ones is: it is also called an emergency brake, it is there in case you have a problem with the hydraulic ones, like if a hose explode and leak all the fluid. Then there is no more fluid to send to the brakes (beside, they are partially linked together, so at a minimum you can expect 2 wheels to not have brake). Second reason is: oil pressure leak out slowly, so if you apply the brake hydraulically, chance is that after a few hours/days/week the car start rolling by it's own!
The way they usually do this is: the rear brake, if it have a drum, will have a cable that activate some lever that press the pads to the drum. On disk brake, they actually included a drum brake on the rear wheels, a tiny one. It can not handle alot of braking, but enought for many applications while moving. At rest it cause basically no wear so may last the live of the car. On electric parking brake they most likelly use the exact same system, except that instead of using a cable they use a motor to activate the lever. May even still use a cable so they can use only a single motor, which help to apply equal braking on both wheels, which help to not lose control in case of an emergency braking.
What happens when the front passenger seat in empty but the seatbelt is attached? Will the airbag deploy during an impact? i have friends who strap all the seatbelts no matter what so all they do when they get in the car is only use the diagonal strap across his body.
Very informative. What could be that smell you sensed while doing it? I would really be interested to know if anyone could tell me. Safe driving bro.
Nice vid but I have to ask the question 'Is there any need ever to use the button?' what I mean is in the old system a cable went to the back breaks and was independent of what happens when you press the peddle which is hydraulic, therefore if you suffered an hydraulic fail such as a total loss of fluid you could bring the car to a stop with the cable system, is the button independent? Perhaps a question for the manufacturers.
Loooovvvvveeee you’re voice and your music and your videos
so much respect for citing another youtuber for xredit
hi, I'm new driver and drive an automatic car and sometimes forget to pull down handbrake and after drive a mile i realize it. please i want to know what it cause and what it's effect on gear box?
I wounded if you were driving a Ford F-150 and you try to turn the key to the off will the truck stop or keep going
Very informative!! Thanks!!
Good vid I have never done that but did wonder if it would work if brakes failed. TA !
you got a subscriber! im not a car person but its intresting and i always wanted to know if you press those buttons and stuff
Thanks. You are great
I accidentally put it on drive and press the accelerator while the electronic parking brake still on and it gave me warning lights, will it damage the components or body chassis ?
Good video, thank you!
What if, for some reason you lose your breaks, will the electronic parking brake still work? or it depends on the car make?
My 2006 Lincoln LS has this. It applies the rear brakes only. It does not hurt the car at all. When the brake is applied, application of throttle releases them. My LS squats when the rear brakes are applied which helps with the anti-dive.
I know this is an older video. But as i just bought a "newer" car for the first time in my life with an electronic parking brake (an rs3), i skimmed though the manual and this is absolutly what its supposed to do and not harmful (aside from brake wear). The park brake acts as an Emergency brake while drving. the Park brakes dont engage at all until you stop completly. It Uses the nomal brakes an performs a complete emergency stop as long as its held.
Thanks for the video. Once I realized where this brake was located it has completely stressed me out since. Terrified passenger may accidentally pull it while going down the highway.
Is the 2017 Ford Focus SE with 1.0L EcoBoost a standard automatic transmission? Would love a Focus but too wary of the DCT issues.
Would it be the 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with SelectShift® as opposed to 6-Speed PowerShift® Automatic Transmission?
Thank you for the videos!!! (Brazil)
Good to know, thanks!
Good testing... Thx.
Very informative.
4.49 "I'm kinda feeling some kind of smell" LMAOOOO
Senses are feelings so not that wrong maybe.
this is different from car to car.
a friend of mine drives a fiat 500x and he tested that too.
he said if you pull the e-brake while driving it does a full emergency brake until it stands still.
it brakes as hard as it can with full force and it turns on the hazard lights.
you got a new subscriber!
i just went though that with my fusion the other day, tbh im disapointed i couldnt use it as i wanted to go sideways and test the snow out. Its a good safe system, but im still disappointed i cant lock them up as i please.
theres another braking system for automatic transmissions that locks the transmission itself but man that sound comes when you apply the brake also is not like regular break so you should consider the damages on your transmission with you want to do that again ,
this is a safety feature, if the driver loses control or conscious the passenger can pull that button to SAFELY stop the vehicle, older vehicles could lose control if you yank up the ebrake as it would lock the rear brakes. This brings the car to a safe stop and engages the parking brake so you wont move again until released
is it normal when using electric parking brake makes a somewhat loud sound when engaging or disengaging.?
