There is an emergency release in the trunk underneath the spare tire.
in toyota's with electronic parking brake, there is an screw in trunk that you need to turn few hundred times :-)... still thats better, some cars dont have backup at all.
whats even the advantage of having it electronic? How do you release it if the car battery goes dead.
One less thing to have to remember when parking or driving, less clutter in the cabin (ie location of handbrake or push foot brake). Of course those are just some reasons. There are plenty of negative ones too of having electric vs mechanical
another positive is that it usually brings a brake hold feature for stoplights, less clutter in the footwell area/center console
Not on the GS350 which only has an electronic parking brake with either auto/ or manual toggling, but the 450h offers a "Hold" button (so does the LS460)
