What does a parking system malfunction in a car mean?

[OTeagan]

The parking system refers to an automatic braking function, and a parking system malfunction is caused by sensor issues that prevent the automatic braking function from being realized. After activating this function, such as when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, simplifying the operation by avoiding the use of a handbrake or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent switching between D to N and D to P. The automatic parking system (AUTO HOLD) is a technological application that enables automatic handbrake functionality while the car is running. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary sliding when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. The implementation of the automatic parking system function is not simply achieved by using an electronic handbrake. When people park on slopes or before traffic lights, they use the handbrake for parking. In such cases, relying solely on the electronic handbrake results in slower response times. Manually pulling or releasing the handbrake takes no more than 0.3 seconds, and manual control is more flexible than electronic control. Activating the electronic handbrake requires a preliminary action of pressing the brake pedal, along with the response time of the button, and the motor operation time is relatively long, about 0.5 seconds. Even when the electronic handbrake is automatically released upon pressing the accelerator, this action can feel somewhat abrupt. Therefore, the automatic parking system operates on a different principle. The causes of electronic parking system malfunctions are: The parking brake lever cannot be fixed; The parking brake fails; The parking brake makes abnormal noises or is aged; Excessive gap between the friction pads and the brake drum; Oil contamination or severe wear on the friction pads and brake drum. The solutions for electronic parking system malfunctions are: Replace the parking brake; Adjust the gap between the friction pads and the brake drum; Clean the friction pads and brake drum; After starting the vehicle, press the foot brake and hold the electronic handbrake to reset.
