If the vehicle starts to move, more tension is put on the cables.

I wonder also what happens as they get older - does the EPB self adjust??? .
Well, mine used to self-unadjust!
And when it needs adjustment, the vehicle automatically sounds a warning scream!

Now that I'm used to it, I like it. I love the way that on a seriously steep hill, you just leave it on and drive over the top of it...seemless transaction.I remember in my younger days hearing drivers with automatics say that you didn't really need the handbrake if you left the car in Park.
At work I park on a pretty steep incline and I've never been game to test this theory to its max. Indeed, I often tried to ratchet the handbrake up an extra notch in my previous cars - I still feel a bit nervous about the D4's EPB.
I wonder also what happens as they get older - does the EPB self adjust??? Might have to pack an extra brick or two as backup.
