X2 parking brake help

radardish · 10-13-2022, 04:35 AM

Hi folks,

recently got myself an X2, the manual 18d sdrive.

The electronic parking brake doesnt engage automatically when stopping and doesnt auto release when driving off, is this normal or do i need to activate something?

Cheers

On my automatic, it requires me to pull up the switch to set and push down to release, also foot on the brake. U.S. spec 2019

On my 19 it also does not auto engage the parking brake.. I don't see why that would be a useful feature actually more of a pain in the butt! Maybe you are talking about hill assist like was on some manual transmissions? I can, however, apply the parking brake when I am at a stoplight or hill ( IE in drive), and when I press the accelerator it will disengage the parking brake. If I have the car in park with the parking brake on, it will not go and it will remind me the parking brake is on.

And I have an automatic transmission just to be clear.. I don't know if there is any special setting for manual transmission cars.
