What causes the parking brake failure warning in BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
Reasons: The parking brake lever cannot be secured. The parking brake malfunctions. The parking brake produces abnormal noises or shows signs of aging. Below are several precautions for using the parking brake: Releasing the brake when driving: Do not engage the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion, as this may lead to overheating, reduced effectiveness of the rear brakes, shortened brake lifespan, or permanent brake damage. Timely repairs: If the parking brake cannot stabilize the vehicle or fails to fully release, immediately request an inspection from a dealer or service station. Always fully engage the parking brake before exiting the vehicle, otherwise the car may move, causing injury or damage.
