No, it's emergency brake, the term has been around for ages in the US.I figured e-brake was electronic brake?
Probably as you can still use it if your brakes fail (if still using a cable).
I figured e-brake was electronic brake. Is that not the case?
Yes, the computer will control the clamping force of the brakes. Try it at slow speed. It shouldn't just lock them if working OKSo i drive on motorway 70mph amd my brakes fail so i just yank up the e-brake and all be dandy right?
