Where is the handbrake of BMW X1?
1 Answers
The BMW X1 is equipped with an electronic handbrake, which is located next to the gear lever. The electronic handbrake is mainly used for long-term braking after parking, similar to the traditional mechanical handbrake. The electronic handbrake is also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), and its button symbol in the vehicle is 'P'. Here is an introduction to the electronic handbrake: 1. The working principle of the electronic handbrake is the same as that of the traditional mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking brake control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake to an electronic button. 2. The structural principle of the electronic handbrake: Currently, the electronic parking brake technology applied in cars is mainly the caliper-integrated electronic parking brake system, which replaces traditional parking brake handles, mechanical levers, and cables with electronic buttons and motor components. 3. When parking, after the driver operates the electronic button of the electronic parking brake system, the electronic control unit will control the motor integrated in the left and right brake calipers to act, driving the brake caliper piston to rotate and generate mechanical clamping force to complete the parking.
