  • Publication number: 20120019376
    Abstract: A utility vehicle equipped with a parking brake is provided, which includes a parking brake warning sound generator immediately operated when the vehicle is driven while the parking brake is engaged. A parking brake warning sound generator is provided, which includes a parking brake detector detecting whether a parking brake is engaged; a drive detector detecting whether the vehicle is driven; a controller for receiving a signal from the parking brake detector and a signal from the drive detector to determine whether the vehicle is driven while the parking brake is being engaged; and a warning sound generator receiving the determination result from the controller to emit a warning sound for warning the driver that the vehicle is driven while the parking brake is being engaged. The parking brake warning sound generator emits a warning sound when a vehicle drive signal is detected while the parking brake is engaged.
