Or just...You can with diagnostics though
I am also pretty sure you can get it to come on a degree while car is still moving, but would have to re read all the EPB stuff.

I hope that fan is not to close to the crank pulley otherwise this happens
Admittedly it’s not a standard instal(mine), and took a few years, give it beans and the engine moved enough, it still ran though
But that rad looks nice

and you cannot safely use it for emergency braking in the event of main brake failure.You can with diagnostics though

Electric door lock warmers already exist or they did before door locks ceased to exist.

So in that case surely it's technically illegal?
Yes you/it can. dont make me dig out the files again, Had this with Mr Wammers (who of course never admitted his mistakes)

To my mind that means the EPB may comply with the construction and use regs that require, or used to require, an emergency brake in case of failure of the main braking system whist the vehicle is moving at speed. However, since it requires the EPB electronics to be functional, that may be disputable as vehicle electronics are not known for their reliability.

So the epb can decelerate the car even if it loses communication with everything, but I don't understand what it means by 'under the driver's control '. Surely the only effective brake control the driver has then is pressing the button, as it only reaches that point with electronic and hydraulic failure? Unless I misunderstood the document.
So your scenario means you have a total hydraulic failure and an electronic failure at the same time?

I believe it means you can pull the switch.
I have another doc I think somewhere, will look.

To be fair, the last 4 or 5 cars I've bought with cabled handbrakes, the handbrakes have been close to useless.
Both the Siggy and current l322 have electric handbrakes that can lock the wheels.
However, when moving you can pull the button and the handbrake applies progressively and when you let go it releases progressively so you can modulate the braking reasonably well.
On the previous cable brake l322, even with new shoes cable and drums (discs) you could yank the handle through the headlining for some mild retardation.

I hope that’s not a FL in here

Perfectly possible since JLR brake lines rust out in as little a 5 years.

I don't see the fact that clever designers can no longer make a functioning manual handbrake as being a good reason to introduce more complicated electronics.
Automate and codify.. it's the mantra pushed everywhere. Doesn't matter if the best thing to do, it's modernisation so it must be done

They have gone epb as it takes up less space in the center console leaving more room for unnecessary gadgets and tech.
Like cupholders
