Reasons for Automatic Parking Failure
2 Answers
Reasons for automatic parking system failure are as follows: 1. The parking brake lever cannot be fixed; the lever needs to be replaced or reinstalled. 2. Parking brake failure; brake pads and other components need to be inspected and replaced. 3. The parking brake makes abnormal noises or has aged; lubricant needs to be added or the brake needs to be replaced. 4. Excessive gap between the friction pads and brake drum of the automatic parking system, oil contamination or severe wear on the friction pads and brake drum, exposed rivets, or surface hardening causing slippage and failure; replace the brake pads and brake disc. 5. Severe wear of the parking brake pin shaft, excessive gap, or over-adjustment of the parking brake lever. Adjust the gap or directly replace the components.
I have encountered malfunctions when using the automatic parking function, the most common being sensor issues, such as cameras being blocked by dust or mud, preventing the system from recognizing the parking position; radar sensor failures can also cause malfunctions, especially in older cars or those that haven't been maintained for a long time. Software bugs are another major issue—outdated or conflicting systems can lead to incorrect judgments of parking trajectories. Environmental factors like rain interference or poor lighting in underground garages can significantly reduce system accuracy. Insufficient battery power or voltage fluctuations may also make the system unstable. It's recommended that owners regularly clean sensors, update software, and check error codes; in case of malfunctions, manual control is safer—don't rely entirely on the system. This system is an assistive tool, and developing a habit of manual parking can reduce risks.
