When the brake pedal is fully depressed, the vehicle will remain in a stationary state. Detailed introduction about the electronic parking brake system is as follows: 1. It integrates the temporary braking during driving and the long-term braking after parking, achieving parking brake through electronic control. 2. The electronic parking brake realizes parking brake through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both of which achieve parking brake by generating friction between the brake disc and the brake pad. 3. The electronic parking brake function extends to the auto hold function. The auto hold function technology allows the driver to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped. 4. Activating the automatic electronic parking brake can prevent the vehicle from sliding.
During my daily commute in the Audi A6, the auto hold function has been an absolute stress-saver. First, after starting the car, I simply locate the AUTO HOLD button on the center console - pressing it illuminates to activate the feature. When driving, if I stop at a red light or in traffic, a firm press of the brake pedal makes the dashboard display an icon confirming activation, automatically keeping the car stationary without needing continuous brake pressure. To resume driving, a gentle tap on the accelerator releases the brake hold. I've found this feature particularly useful in city driving, especially for preventing rollback on inclines while reducing foot fatigue. It works best when paired with the electronic parking brake to prevent accidental operation. Remember to ensure the transmission is in D or N gear before activating, as the system only responds in these modes. Overall, it significantly enhances driving comfort and safety, making my commute more relaxed and enjoyable.
