Having just bought a new car with an electronic parking brake instead of the old manual one I'm used to, I wanted to ensure I know how to use it properly before I collect the car tomorrow (I don't fancy learning whilst driving it home!!). Your video was really helpful and explained it in really simple terms - thank you so much!
Great, yes I have a Focus manual like this and have just learned exactly whats in this video, so wish I'd seen it beforehand. Just one thing to add - if you're ready to reverse off your slopey drive for example, you start off and then see something coming and dip your clutch you WILL roll forward, so keep one finger on the handbrake switch as you reverse . My advice to anyone with one of these is 9after seeing the video) go find a steep hill and practice both starting off and reversing off , takes a while but you soon do geet used to it
Hi I’m having a wobble ref the new parking brake in my car ( to be picked up Saturday) This video has really helped! May I ask ~ what do I do to leave the car completely . Apply the electronic parking brake as I leave car? Or does it automatically go off when I turn car off? Thank you. Marie.
For some reason my car seems to have the hill assist stay on when I'm trying to pull away when I'm on a hill but going down it. It never did that before and I cant seem to get it to stop. Any Help?
Quite. Thanks Stephen, but no need to explain in detail (for over a minute) how to use a manual handbrake... that's not why we're here. Too much off-topic talking!

I'm trying to learn this for when I collect my car tomorrow, first one I've ever had with an electronic handbrake 😅

Should you still leave car in gear when parked ?
The difference between the 2??
Can you use it in traffic the parking break
With a manual gear model, put it in reverse gear when parking.
Can't trust that. A better compromise is to have the auto hold button then a lever parking brake.
It is very much a safe system.
Like to rest brake foor
Never got to the end I fell asleep chezzo you can talk
What a ramble. I struggled to listen, the speech was not very clear and there were pauses in random places.
