What are the common faults of automatic parking?

Common faults of automatic parking are as follows: 1. Abnormal noise: If a knocking sound is heard from the parking brake while driving a diesel vehicle, stop and inspect immediately. Check the parking brake by hand to see if the fixing screws are loose, the control lever is deformed, the fixing pin shaft is loose, or the control lever spring is damaged. Promptly repair and adjust as needed. 2. Parking brake control lever cannot be fixed: When using the parking brake, if the control lever cannot stay in the braking position after being pulled to the braking position and released, first press and release the lever head, then grip and release the lever handle to test its up and down movement. Check if the control lever is bent, stuck, or if the spring is broken. If no issues are found, inspect whether the sector gear and pin are severely worn, causing slippage.
I often encounter issues with the auto-hold function while driving. It might be due to aging sensors or poor wiring connections, causing the system to misjudge the parking position and sometimes stop working altogether. Another common problem is with the control unit—software bugs can make it respond slowly or completely freeze, making reversing a nerve-wracking experience. There are also brake system failures, such as sticking or delayed release, which could be related to worn brake pads or overheated electronic components. I recommend checking the car's fuses first if you notice any abnormalities to see if any are blown. If restarting the system doesn't help, it's best to visit a 4S shop for professional diagnostics. Regular maintenance of the vehicle's electronic components can prevent such troubles—don't overlook it, as the safety risks are significant.
