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!

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!

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.

That's what I thought it will do, but it's good to get some actual experimental results. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

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.

Great Information. Your videos have made me really impressed by Ford's newest models, especially the Fusion.

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.

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.

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.

@beni22sof

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.

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.

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.

What happens if you put a car into reverse while driving forward?

@myar4931

7 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Thanks good to know. I have a Maserati with elec brake and hope it works as it did in the car in your demo.

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.

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

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)

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! =]

I dunno what it's like to feel a smell ;) but love your channel. keep up the great work

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good testing... Thx.

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.

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 thought that was Interesting how it showed the brake lights when you pulled the electric brake....very Nice! I know my e brake doesn't turn my Brake lights on 😢

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?

Appreciate for enlightment.. curiosity answered 👍

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.

As long as you have cruise control on the car should drive by itself just fine.

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.

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.

You should do a video about the Secret dealerships don't tell you

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.

This Fusion also has a system that holds the brake while you are stopped at the red light. When you stopped on the red light just pull on the switch and release the foot from the brake pedal. The car will apply the brakes and you don't have to step on the foot pedal during a long red light. When the light goes green just apply the throttle and the car releases the brakes and stop lights on the back Very NEAT FEATURE :) I use it a lot in my 2013 Fusion. Give it a TRY!

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

That would be a cool feature for drifting just a flick of a button to control the e brak. Some electronic e brakes take a bit long to engage tho

That's good to know, I'm kinda interested in whams going on mechanically

Autovlog on a fusion if you are in drive and apply the parking brake simply give it gas and it automatically disengages it. A really cool feature. The electronic parking brake will stop the car straight if the driver passes out the passenger can stop the car. Great design

You should do one with the shift turning selector wheel from drive to park

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?
