electronic hand break

[5EAN]

I've got a 2020 K9 van if it was to brake down or not start etc and needed towing is there a way of taking the electronic hand brake off to tow or bump start etc i have read that other models of cars/vans have a over ridding system on the brake pedal i'm just curious and nothing to do today.

There's a procedure described in the manual. From memory:

1. Ignition on
2. Shifter to neutral (holding the brake)
3. Hold brake button down for a few seconds.

There's no difference. Just checked the manual, there is the procedure laid out but it's more complex than the one I used:

1. Engine on
2. Parking brake on
3. Release brake pedal
4. Push parking brake release and hold 10-15 sec
5. Release the button
6. Push and hold brake pedal
7. In 2 seconds pull parking brake towards "on"
8. Automatic brake blocking mode lits up in the instrument panel
8. Release button and brake pedal.

Repeat to revert.
