What could be simpler and more reliable than a handbrake system? However, her people managed to make it more complicated and prone to failure. Although very useful for
The electronic “handbrake” is a godsend for “blondes” of any gender. I pressed the button – the car itself was “on the brakes”. Models equipped with such a system usually have an “auto hold” function. A real salvation for those who bought the “rights”, because they failed to master the mysterious skill called “start up the hill”. Why is this necessary if there is an “electric handbrake”? According to this logic, the classic “lever” handbrake is only necessary for old farts and street racers for some manipulations inexplicable for a standard “blonde”.
Be that as it may, you cannot run away from nature: greater comfort and convenience in using a system can only be obtained by complicating it. More or less. In the case of an electronic “handbrake”, the “honorable duty” of pulling the handbrake cable is transferred to mechanisms of human shoulders and arms exhausted by Narzan. When it is relaxed, the rear brake pads are free. Tension – presses the brake pads against the brake disc. When we press the button of the electronic “handbrake” in the cabin, the system control unit gives a command to the electric motor of the system drive, which is located under the bottom of the car, and pulls the cable. We turn off the system – the voltage disappears.
Everything is alright. But any electrical “addition” to a reliably working system or mechanism means the appearance of several additional places at once for a probable failure. In the case of the “electric handbrake”, electrical fuses should immediately be attributed to it. There can be two at once – one for the drive and one for the control unit. If at least one burns out at the moment when the car is standing with the “handbrake” engaged, you should seek refuge in a car service. And on a tow truck: you won’t get very far with blocked wheels.
In addition, multiple electrical connectors must be present in the circuit of this automotive subsystem – another potentially problematic place. God forbid, during the dry cleaning of the interior, water will get there somehow! Corrosion will “eat” the contacts over time, and the “treatment” of the problem will require the intervention of an auto electrician. As for the electronic handbrake control unit, it usually does not cause any problems.
Which can not be said about the system disk itself. This is located under the floor of the vehicle. And therefore, in the cold season, it “bathes” in aggressive reagents with the risk of corrosion and jamming of moving parts. And it can also suffer mechanical damage at any time when the car hits the “belly” of the curb in the city or “sits” on a bump in the road. Such problems pose no threat to a car with a good old handbrake lever between the front seats. But “not only everyone” can realize this concept.
