If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is moving, the vehicle will decelerate as long as the switch is held up. If the switch is held up until the vehicle comes to a stop, the EPB will remain applied. So as long as you have electrical power, you can stop the vehicle with the EPB,

Your statement: can't imagine facing a long, steep, snow covered, downhill road without a proper handbrake So unless you are talking about driving like Ken Block on a snowy day and doing handbrake turns, I have no clue how a hand brake helps you parking on a snowy down hill road. If you are talking about simply driving down a slick road, you have ABS that will do far better than you ever will using your hand brake. So really not sure what you mean, and I've driven on a lot of snowy roads, never needing a handbrake..................unless I wanted to drive like Ken Block.

One thing I wish they did was have it engage automatically when you put the car in park. My Lexus had that feature. You could put the ebrake in auto mode or manual mode. In auto mode it would engage when you put the car in park and disengage when you took the car out of park with your foot on the brake. In manual mode it works just like the ours.

The main thing I don't like about the electronic parking brake is the lack of tactile and auditory feedback that you get with a mechanical parking brake. With a mechanical parking brake, you pull up on the lever, and it stays there. You hear the clicking/latching of the parking brake, and you know it is set.
With the electronic brake, the only sense you can use to tell whether it is set is your eyes by looking at the dash. You really have to flick the electonic switch up hard to make sure it sets. I have had several times where I didn't lift the button high enough and it didn't engage. I might be alone in this, but I would like an audible ratcheting sound with the electronic brake coming through the speakers. |

Im pretty sure the hill assist uses the entire brake system and not just the ebrake. I noticed the other day that the hill assist actually keeps the brake lights on until it releases. Had a car behind me on a hill and noticed that the brake lights remained on when I let my foot off the brake and didnt go off until the hill assist released.
