e-brake
Hill-hold mechanism
An e-brake is the emergency brake or parking brake in a vehicle—a secondary braking system independent of the main hydraulic brakes.
Drivers engage it when parked to prevent rolling, or in emergencies if primary brakes fail.
In performance driving, pulling the e-brake initiates controlled skids: He yanked the e-brake to drift around the corner.
