• Rollaway Mitigation (Driver Assistance Feature):
The Bendix Intellipark
®
(EPB) system's Rollaway Mitigation feature is intended
to mitigate the possibility of a roll-away resulting from
the driver failing to park the vehicle. The Intellipark
EPB system provides the ability to detect some
situations where the vehicle is unparked and the driver
is not present in the driver's seat, based on inputs
from the vehicle including the cab doors, service
brakes, and engine throttle pedal. In response to a
predetermined sequence of inputs, Rollaway Mitigation
will automatically set the parking brake.
The Rollaway Mitigation feature is not intended to be
a primary automation feature. In all cases, the driver
remains responsible for activating the park switch for
each drive cycle. Rollaway Mitigation includes a feature
to reinforce proper driver behavior: If this feature has
parked the vehicle, the driver will be informed by
flashing LEDs and must pull the park switch prior to
the system allowing the driver to unpark the vehicle.
Drivers and maintenance personnel must not rely on
the Intellipark EPB system to automatically park the
vehicle. Drivers continue to be responsible for safe
and proper operation of the vehicle.
• Power Unit Park Brake Release Interlock (Driver
Assistance Feature): The Intellipark EPB system
provides the ability to restrict the release of the parking
brakes based on inputs from the vehicle including the
cab doors, service brakes, and ignition switch. This
feature is intended to help mitigate the possibility of
unauthorized operation of the vehicle or release of the
park brakes without a driver in control of the vehicle.
The standard configuration of this feature inhibits the
release of the power unit spring brakes unless the
ignition is on, the cab doors are closed, the driver's
foot is on the service brake, and – if applicable – the
transmission shifter is in the non-park position (verify
with the vehicle manufacturer).

• Towing Vehicle: Auto Trailer Brake Release (Driver
Assistance Feature): The Intellipark EPB system
provides the ability to detect some situations where the
driver attempts to drive a combination vehicle with the
trailer(s) parked, based on inputs from vehicle speed
data, powertrain data, engine throttle pedal, service
brakes, and measurement of the air pressure in each
Intellipark channel. In response to these inputs, the
Intellipark EPB system will automatically charge the
trailer channel, thereby releasing the trailer parking
brakes if the parking brake system downstream of the
Intellipark valve is healthy.
This feature is not intended to be a primary automation
feature. In all cases, the driver remains responsible
for pressing the trailer charge switch at the beginning
of each drive cycle. The Auto Trailer Brake Release
feature – if enabled (refer to the vehicle manufacturer)
– will activate every time the conditions are met unless
the system is in bobtail mode.
Under certain conditions, the Bendix
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system can
automatically release the trailer park brakes. Drivers
and maintenance personnel must read and understand
the contents of the Intellipark owner's manual before
operating an Intellipark-equipped vehicle.
