Purpose of The System

The Electro-mechanical Parking Brake (EMF) is used for the first time in series production. The EMF is used to secure a stationary vehicle, preventing it from rolling away by firmly locking the parking brake. The EMF is an automatic comfort oriented system that replaces the previous handbrake or foot operated parking brake. The driver can apply and release the parking brake by pressing a push button.

The system is designed for the characteristic requirements of the E65/E66:

- Consideration for safety
- Optimum functionality
- Maximum system usage
- Best comfort and convenience

The Parking Brake push button is located in the instrument panel to the left of the headlight switch. The push button is an integral component of the Light Module.

The EMF mechanically locks the parking brake when the vehicle is stationary and provides an independent brake system as required by law (in addition to the service brakes).

The EMF system offers additional comfort and safety functions.
