E70 Parking Brake

Post by Beamer66 » Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:50 am

Hi,

Could anyone explain to me how the electronic parking brake is SUPPOSED to work:

1. Should it come on automatically when Park is engaged ?

2, Should it be disengaged manually or automatically ?

Thanks for any advice ….

I normally press the auto handbrake button as soon as I get moving and then the brake it applied each time you come to a standstill.

Not all E70’s have Auto Hold. I think it came with the LCI as standard, but may have with been unavailable or a cost option before then.
