Can an electronic parking brake actually be used for an emergency situation let's

find out

welcome back my name is Brandon Haneline your Jeep Informant and if this is

your first time here and you want to be smarter after this video then you

currently are you've come to the right place. Make sure you subscribe

along with clicking that bell so today we'll be using a 2018 Jeep renegade I

want to see if the electronic parking brake can actually be used in an

emergency situation, now before we find out if the electronic parking brake

can't actually be used as an emergency brake let me give you a quick little

history lesson. Now 17 years ago BMW decided they were gonna launch the

all-new electronic parking brake they did this on the 7 Series and then 13

years later jeep decided they wanted to do it on the cheap cherokee KL body now

since then Fiat Chrysler automobiles have been using this across the platform

on several different vehicles such as the new Pacifica the older Chrysler 200

and also the renegade but what's interesting to me is there some

manufacturers out there that don't even have a parking brake at all the two that

I know about Tesla and the other expensive Koenigsegg sometimes I think

manufacturers are taking the human interactivity out of the vehicle and

putting more electronics in there which to me doesn't make it as fun to drive I

enjoy driving how about you well enough about that let's head out to the Jeep

now the Auto vlog Channel did this on his 2015 Ford Fusion

but we're gonna try it here on the 2018 Jeep renegade let's see what happens

when you pull it up going 41 miles an hour

and when you do that you just get a little tug there's another little tug

and it almost feels like it applause and let's go applies and let's go so if you

had a manual park brake lever and you had an emergency then you would just

yank that thing up as hard as you could to stop the vehicle as

quick as possible so what would you do in this situation with the electronic

one so what you would do is you pull the little lever up and you hold it and when

you do those parking brakes grab real tight to bring the vehicle to a stop as

quick as possible now if you let go of that that would just be like putting the

parking brake down so it releases then now a little more technical information

on this parking brake system it actually does use the the brake pads that are

used for your standard braking there's just an actuator on the back of it this

thing a kind like a screw kind of and when voltage is applied one way it

screws it in and when voltage is applied the other way it screws it out all right

now here's some more information that you may not know about the parking brake

so if you've got it in Drive okay and you've got the parking brake not applied

the vehicle is stationary and you open the door with the seatbelt unplugged you

let off the brakes and leave it automatically applies the brake because

you know I guess it think we're gonna fall out or something so as you can see

the auto parking brake has not checked off there so what we experienced was not

the auto part brake that's just a basic standard safety feature this on the

electronic parking brake system so what auto park brake actually is is when you

have that checked and you're driving down the road and you come to stop and

you put it in part boom right there you can see the parking brake sets

automatically you don't have to pull that little lever there so to answer the

question can the parking brake be used for an emergency yes it could but they

don't call it emergency brake for legal reasons well that's all I have today

guys and I want to give a special thanks to my very first patron Ron Griffin

thank you very much sir you are very much appreciated and we will be talking

to you in the chat now if you want to see all the different rewards that are

available on the patreon make sure you check it out and the link down below in

Jeep 7-Seater SUV: Grand Commander | All Details | #In2Mins - Duration: 1:58.

Welcome back to Car dekho where we help you pick the right car right now.

Right now it's time to talk about the 7 seater jeep commander. let's get started

1. The brand commander looks typically cheap it's got the presents

you expect from a big 7 seater. Typical Jeep elements such as the 7 slant-drill,

squared off wheel arches and that strong shoulder line gives it an imposing look.

2. Quickly hit pause and see how big the grand commander really is

compared to its younger brother, the Jeep Compass and here's a quick dimension

comparison with the Ford Endeavour and the Toyota Fortuner

so yeah it's got size on its side as well. 3. The big talking point

is that the grand commander is a seven seater. Features include three zone

climate control, a touchscreen infotainment system and a massive

panoramic sunroof. 4. The grand commander gets a 2 liter turbocharged

petrol engine with either 234 or 265 horsepower. The engine is paired with the

9 speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels and yes the

grand commander gets jeeps 4x4 tech as well that includes sand, snow and rock

modes but if it makes its way to India expect a big diesel engine under the

bonnet and that brings us to number five there's no official word from Jeep India

regarding the grand commander on the surface it does look like a package that

could click in India if priced in the 25 to 30 lakh rupee bracket. What do you

think of the grand commander let us know in the comment section below if you
