Auto-Hold(Electronic Brake)

BMW 7 Series

Features

The electronic parking brake is an automatic hand brake that is operated with just one button on the dashboard, providing maximum comfort, requiring almost no effort from the driver.

This sophisticated brake system provides two additional benefits besides its primary function during parking: Autostop and Hillhold.

The Autostop function automatically applies the brake to hold the vehicle in place when needed, so the driver does not have to keep a foot on the brake to prevent everyday “creeping” as with traditional automatic transmissions.

When starting, the driver only needs to press the accelerator pedal, and the brake is automatically released.

The Hillhold function automatically applies and releases the brake on inclines, preventing the vehicle from rolling backward.

When the engine is running continuously, the parking brake operation is fully carried out hydraulically through the DSC pump

On the other hand, when the engine is off, the system operates electronically via the traditional cables connected to the dual‑servo parking brake on the rear axle.

The system is designed with safety in mind, preventing the driver from carelessly releasing the brake while exiting the vehicle with the engine still running.

The Necessity of Auto Hold (Electronic Parking Brake)

In heavy traffic conditions, drivers become fatigued primarily due to the constant overuse of their right foot.
While driving, the accelerator must be pressed, and even when stopped, the brake must be held.

Although some drivers may use the handbrake in these situations, most still need to focus on pressing the brake pedal with effort.
The electronic parking brake holds the brake while the vehicle is stopped, making it a vehicle convenience feature that allows the driver to drive more comfortably and safely.

Functions of Auto Hold (Electronic Parking Brake)

Without pressing the brake pedal

No rollback when starting

Rest Function

When the driver stops and holds the brake, the brake is automatically engaged, allowing the right foot—which is constantly in use—to rest comfortably, whether on a hill or on flat ground.

Hill-Hold Function

When starting on a slope of up to approximately 30%, the vehicle will not roll backward at all, making this feature essential for beginners, female drivers, those with fatigued right feet, and drivers with disabilities.

Neck Protection Function

When the vehicle is stopped, all four wheels are locked, helping to prevent neck injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.

Technical Specifications of Auto Hold (Electronic Parking Brake)

Auto Hold is a vehicle safety and convenience feature that automatically keeps the brakes engaged when the vehicle is stopped.
When you press the accelerator to move, the brakes are released automatically, preventing the car from rolling backward on hills.
It also allows your right foot to rest comfortably in traffic congestion.

The electronic parking brake system uses a computer to monitor the vehicle’s speed, engine RPM, and brake status while stopped.
It locks the brakes only at the level applied by the driver, so you don’t need to keep your foot on the brake.

By removing the need to worry about the brake while stopped, driving becomes safer.
This makes Auto Hold an essential feature for automatic vehicles.

During driving, the computer continuously monitors vehicle speed.
The electronic parking brake never engages while the vehicle is moving; it operates only when the engine is running, the vehicle is stopped, and the brake pedal is pressed.

* Installation takes approximately 40 minutes, and the process is simple.
After purchasing the product, the driver can either install it themselves or have it installed at a nearby car service center, as a clear installation manual is provided.
