What are the causes of the parking brake failure in the BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
The causes of the parking brake failure in the BMW 5 Series are as follows: 1. Insufficient brake oil pressure: lack of oil in the brake master cylinder, brake pipeline rupture, oil pipe joint leakage, or oil circuit blockage. 2. Air in the brake system. 3. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance: poor contact of the brake shoe friction plate, severe wear, or oil contamination. Relevant information about the automatic parking system is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automatic parking, also known as AUTO-HOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, there is no need to pull the handbrake, which simplifies the operation by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, frequent shifting from D to N or D to P is also unnecessary. 2. Working principle: The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides accurate parking force through the slope sensor by the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information provided by the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
