How to Operate the Lynk & Co 03 at Traffic Lights?
3 Answers
When waiting at a red light while driving, first maintain an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front to prevent the car from rolling backward if your foot suddenly releases the brake. Then shift the vehicle into neutral. Engage the handbrake, release both feet, or press the parking button to prevent the car from rolling.
Driving a Lynk & Co 03 at traffic lights is actually quite hassle-free. I usually lightly press the brake to bring the car to a smooth stop. If it has the auto-hold function, it will automatically lock the brakes for me, so I don’t have to keep my foot on the pedal. I can relax my foot, check the traffic, or listen to some music. When the light turns green, just a gentle tap on the accelerator ensures a smooth and quick start, with no rolling back or jerking. This method is especially suited for city driving, eliminating the need to shift to neutral or pull the handbrake, and it also prevents leg fatigue from prolonged braking. I often use this technique during my daily commute—it’s safe and efficient, particularly useful for long red lights. Overall, knowing whether your car has Auto Hold is key; most newer models come equipped with it, and once you get used to it, driving becomes much easier.
Driving my Lynk & Co 03 to work stuck at a red light, I rely entirely on the auto-hold system. It activates when I brake to a stop, keeping the car firmly stationary after releasing my foot—no worries about rolling back. Pressing the accelerator to start is seamless, efficient and fuel-saving. This is incredibly practical for commuters like me, reducing fatigue and improving focus, especially reliable on slippery rainy roads. Occasionally encountering older models without this feature, I manually shift to neutral or use the brake, but Auto Hold clearly upgrades the experience. Daily driving involves more exploration—always observe the dashboard indicator lights to confirm activation status.
