The following functions are provided by the
electric parking brake:
– Parking brake function
– Emergency braking function
– Holding function when driving off on a hill
– Brake pad wear indicator
Electric parking brake
The brake pads are applied by way of a
spindle mechanism.
Gear unit and motor are flanged to the brake
caliper.
Implementation of the parking brake function
involves translating the rotation of the drive
motor into a very short brake piston stroke.
This is achieved through the use of a swash
plate mechanism in combination with the
spindle mechanism.
The emergency braking function is initiated
via the parking brake button and transmitted
to all four wheels by the brake hydraulics.
Design and operation of the electric
parking brake are described in SSP 285.
