Parking brake for vehicle with automatic transmission gear, automatically activated when driver switches into parking mode

摘要

The position of the accelerator (44) is monitored by a sensor (42) and the related data transferred to an engine control device (40) also receiving information about the position of the brake pedal (48). The transmission control device (26) is provided with information by a sensor (28) located at the gear switch lever (30). Units (22, 24), activating the brakes at the wheels (20, 21) are also controlled by the device (26). The actual condition of the brakes is displayed on a screen (50) at the dashboard.
