Does autohold harm the car?
1 Answers
Autohold does not harm the car. Autohold is designed for drivers encountering slopes during driving, functioning like an automatic handbrake. The autohold feature is not triggered while driving; it only activates when the car comes to a complete stop. To release the stationary state, simply press the accelerator lightly to disengage the brake, so it has no impact on the braking system. The autohold function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. The parking control unit calculates data from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal position. When the driving force exceeds the rolling resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly and reducing the time wasted on manual judgment based on experience.
