Interesting. They are making things so electronic these days. They probably use the ABS pump to lock all the wheels. Maybe it eliminates the parking brake drums on the rear rotors. It can no longer be considered an "Emergency Brake". I wonder why they called it PPB? Also interesting is that the seat belt is only required to release the PPB only with automatic. Why not manual? How do they handle locking the steering wheel since there is no key? I guess I'll have to take a test drive next time I have to pick up some parts for my 9 1nd 13 year old relics.
