The system includes an arrangement for applying said parking brake to an active position as a response to at least said driver's door lock being locked in an active position. The system can include a lock response arrangement which is operable for at least providing a first signal indicating that at least the driver's door lock is locked in an active position; and a hold arrangement for actuating the parking brake to an active position based on the first signal. Thus, it is no longer necessary for a driver to remember to actuate the parking brake, when he or she parks the vehicle, as long as at least the driver's door lock on the vehicle is locked. The manual locking action of the driver's door lock may be further utilized for automatic actuation of the parking brake, i.e. the same manual action may induce two separate functions at the same time.

Abstract: A system and a method of determining imbalances of at least one wheel on a vehicle, when said wheel is rotating, is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a vibration signal from at least one wheel vibration sensor associated with said wheel; providing an angular velocity signal of the rotation of said wheel, the angular velocity signal including a reference signal indicating the start of a wheel revolution; and based thereupon performing signal processing upon these signals for detecting a periodic signal of a predetermined nature corresponding to imbalances in said wheel and determining the position upon said at least one wheel of such imbalance. Accordingly, a wheel imbalance detection system separate from the vehicle is no longer necessary, because the present method provides an indication as to the precise location and type of any detected imbalance in a wheel. By being able to locate the position upon the wheel of such wheel imbalance, the maintenance time used is reduced considerably.
