Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A parking brake system for a vehicle includes a first member adapted to be mounted to a wheel assembly of the vehicle, a spindle shaft block adapted to be mounted to a spindle shaft of the vehicle, a backer plate disposed about a portion of the spindle shaft block, a second member mounted to the backer plate for engagement and disengagement with the first member, and an actuation lever adapted to receive an input to move the first member and the second member into engagement to perform a parking brake function. The parking brake system disclosed requires very little or no force to engage and disengage. The parking brake system has an input for obtaining engage or disengage information from a vehicle operator or from a vehicle independent of the operator. The information will engage the parking brake of the vehicle in a low force and cost effective manner.
