How to Use the Auto Hold Function in Sagitar?
1 Answers
Sagitar's Auto Hold function can be correctly used as follows: 1. With the seatbelt fastened and doors properly closed, simply press the AUTOHOLD button when needed. When stopping the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold will activate automatically. 2. To start moving again, shift gears, release the clutch while simultaneously pressing the accelerator pedal, and the Auto Hold function will deactivate automatically. Additional Information: Auto Hold, also known as the vehicle's AUTOHOLD function, is typically located behind the electronic parking brake. Moreover, the electronic parking brake and AUTOHOLD are interconnected, and sometimes the electronic parking brake may intervene when using AUTOHOLD. However, Auto Hold does not rely on the electronic parking brake to achieve parking brake functionality; it depends on an intelligent braking system. The vehicle must be equipped with a brake control system like ESP for this feature to work. This is because Auto Hold is essentially an extension of the ESP function, controlled by ESP components. For brief stops such as waiting at traffic lights where quick restart is anticipated, the parking brake is managed by the ESP controlling the brakes. For longer stops, the electronic parking brake will intervene to apply the brake. When you press the brake pedal to stop, the system evaluates the driving conditions and applies an appropriate braking force to bring the vehicle to a halt. When you intend to move forward, the electronic system detects the depth of accelerator pedal press to determine whether to release the brake.
