33. Use the Electronic Parking Brake as a True Emergency Brake
In an emergency (brake failure or sudden stop on ice), pull and hold the electronic parking brake button firmly while steering. Most systems apply maximum braking force to the rear wheels without locking them, helping you regain control.
This feature works even if the main brakes fail. Real drivers know its location by heart and practice the motion in an empty lot. It has prevented countless accidents and gives you confidence that your car has a reliable backup stopping system.
