Parking brake

Principle
Your BMW is equipped with an electromechan-
ical parking brake that is applied and released
via a button.
The fundamental purpose of the parking brake
is to prevent the stationary vehicle from rolling
away.
With the engine switched off, the parking brake
acts on the rear wheels via an electromechani-
cal system. With the engine running, the park-
ing brake acts on the disc brakes of both the
front and the rear wheels via the brake hydrau-
lics.
