Does Auto Hold Consume More Fuel?
1 Answers
Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, for example, when stopping at a red light, there's no need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic handbrakes. Auto Hold does consume a bit more fuel. Below are detailed introductions about handbrakes and Auto Hold: 1. Handbrake: Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function, however, provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc., and automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the running resistance, ensuring a smooth start. Even during stop-and-go traffic in the city, enabling the AUTO-HOLD function activates the corresponding automatic parking feature. 2. Auto Hold: The intelligent AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function enables the vehicle to automatically engage four-wheel braking when stopping at red lights or on slopes, keeping the car stationary even in D or N gear without the need to continuously press the brake pedal or use the handbrake. To release the stationary state, simply lightly press the throttle to disengage the brake. This feature is particularly practical for drivers frequently navigating stop-and-go city traffic, also reducing unnecessary accidents caused by negligence.
