Xiaomi Car: Pressing and holding the P button can also brake if the brake pedal is stuck while driving

On May 3rd, Xiaomi Car released the 36th episode of "Xiaomi SU7 Answers Questions from Fans".

A netizen asked, besides the brake pedal, what other ways can be used to slow down and stop while driving the Xiaomi SU7?

Xiaomi Car introduced that the Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers, matched with the globally first-launched Bosch DPB, an intelligent decoupling braking system that provides braking pressure on all wheels; it also has ESP 10.0, responsible for wheel braking force adjustment and pressure control to maintain vehicle stability.

To ensure absolute safety, the Xiaomi SU7's braking system adopts a "quadruple redundant braking" strategy.

  1. If the brake pedal is stuck or jammed, you can slow down and brake by pressing and holding the P button;

  2. If the brake module fails, DPB and ESP act as backups for each other;

  3. If both DPB and ESP fail simultaneously, you can still rely on traditional mechanical hydraulic braking for effective deceleration;

  4. As the final safeguard, through the kinetic energy recovery function of the Xiaomi super motor, a reverse torque can achieve a deceleration of -0.36g for rapid braking. s_e0d2b441c31f471aa053fe109299dc73.png In addition, Xiaomi's car previously introduced that the Xiaomi SU7 uses NAO brake pads, balancing braking performance and comfort.

Moreover, the effective contact area of the front brake pads is larger compared to luxury first-tier brands in the same class of sports sedans, providing better braking performance and durability. s_ceab9b020c8d4635954b55487728d7a4.jpg
