Can a BMW Still Be Driven if the Parking Brake Fails?
1 Answers
BMW cannot be driven if the parking brake fails. Below is relevant information about the parking brake: 1. Parking Function: When the engine is running or the vehicle is moving, the parking brake acts on the disc brakes of the front and rear axles through the DSC hydraulic system. 2. Dynamic Braking Function: Pressing the parking brake button while driving will execute a specified braking via the DSC system, monitored by the ABS regulation function. Braking continues as long as the button is held. 3. Auto Hold Function: Pressing the parking brake button marked with AUTO-H activates this function, indicated by a green LED on the button. After emergency braking to a complete stop, the DSC hydraulically maintains the vehicle in a stationary state.
