BMW 3: Introduction

The function of the brake system of the G20 PHEV is to decelerate the vehicle safely under stable conditions. Vehicle deceleration is made up of the following elements:

  • Conventional hydraulic braking
  • Regenerative braking

Thanks to regenerative braking it is possible to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy with the help of the electrical machine, and to therefore charge the high-voltage battery unit.

The service brake of the G20 PHEV is based on that of a conventional G20. In this chapter only the hybrid-specific components and functions are described.

In comparison to the conventional G20, the following new or modified components are used:

  • Brake pedal travel sensor
  • Brake vacuum pressure sensor
  • Modified vacuum brake system
  • Modified DSC unit

    Brightness and contrast can be adjusted with Surround View or Panorama View switched on. Via iDrive: 1. Move the Controller to the right, if needed. 2. "Camera image" 3. "Brightness" "Contrast" 4. Set the desired value. Functional limitations The system can be used only to a limited extent

     Connection for potential compensation lines

    The isolation monitoring determines whether the isolation resistance between active high-voltage components (e.g. high-voltage cables) and ground is above or below a required minimum value. If the isolation resistance falls below the minimum value, the danger exists that the vehicle parts will be
