How to Activate the Auto Hold Function in Roewe i5?
2 Answers
The auto hold function in Roewe i5 is not activated by default and requires manual initiation by the driver. Pressing the auto hold button on the vehicle will activate the function. When activating the auto hold, there is no need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically apply the brakes to hold the vehicle. The system will automatically release when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Below is more information about the Roewe i5: 1. The Roewe i5 is a high-performance internet-connected mid-size sedan under the Roewe brand, offering two powertrain options: 1.5L and 1.5T. 2. The 1.5T model of Roewe i5 is equipped with SAIC's Blue Core SGE20T all-aluminum mid-mounted direct injection high-efficiency engine, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m, with a fuel consumption as low as 5.5 liters per 100 km. 3. The Roewe i5 features a 10.1-inch high-definition touch capacitive screen and a 12.3-inch digital interactive instrument cluster, along with the internet car intelligent system.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for almost a year and use the auto-hold function daily. After starting the engine, fastening the seatbelt is the most crucial step. Then locate the button with an 'A' near the gear shift on the center console – press it, and the indicator light will turn on, signaling it's activated. At red lights, firmly press the brake pedal until the green parking symbol lights up on the dashboard, then you can release the foot brake, unlike before when you had to keep pressing it until your foot ached. A light tap on the accelerator automatically releases it when starting, which is especially reassuring on slopes. However, it's advisable to turn off this function when reversing, as it automatically brakes at each stop, affecting the smoothness of reversing.
