Which system replaces the handbrake lever on many modern cars?

  • A.An automatic system that applies the service brakes whenever the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running
  • B.An electric parking brake with motorised calipers
  • C.A hydraulic parking brake, which holds the pressure within the rear circuit by means of a solenoid operated valve
  • D.A transmission lock

Answer: B

Motors on the rear calipers or a cable puller unit apply the brake on a switch command and release it automatically when driving away. Servicing requires a scan tool to enter service mode. The lever and cable have largely disappeared. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
