How to Correctly Use Auto Hold and Electronic Parking Brake?
2 Answers
Auto Hold and Electronic Parking Brake should be used as follows: 1. Auto Hold: In situations requiring short stops such as traffic lights, press the Auto Hold function button, and the system will automatically apply the brakes to the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling. The Auto Hold function will automatically deactivate when the driver presses the accelerator pedal, unbuckles the seat belt, or opens the door. 2. Electronic Parking Brake: For long-term parking, bring the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal, then pull up the electronic "P" button to engage the Electronic Parking Brake, putting the vehicle in a braking state. To deactivate the Electronic Parking Brake, simply press the brake pedal and then push the button downward.
I usually drive to and from work, and the auto hold function is my savior during traffic jams. After coming to a complete stop, just press a button to activate it, and the system automatically locks the brakes, freeing your foot from the pedal—perfect for red lights or long uphill stops. To start moving again, just lightly tap the accelerator, and it releases smoothly, allowing the car to move forward seamlessly. As for the electronic parking brake? It's mainly used to manually engage by pulling a button when parking or automatically works during reversing, ensuring the car doesn't roll on steep slopes. Just remember not to rely solely on it in icy or snowy conditions, as inaccurate sensors could be dangerous. I always check the dashboard light indicators to ensure everything's functioning properly to prevent any mishaps.
