How to use the automatic parking function of Roewe i5?
2 Answers
Roewe i5's automatic parking function is not enabled by default and requires manual activation by the driver. Press the automatic parking button in the car to activate it. At this time, the driver does not need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the vehicle. The system will automatically release when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. The functions of the automatic parking system: 1. In situations such as traffic lights where a short stop is required, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling; 2. When starting on an uphill slope, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling back. After starting, the system will automatically release the wheels to move forward directly; 3. When parking and locking, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels at this time, but this is only available in some models. The Roewe i5 is a compact car under SAIC Motor, with a body size of 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, 1489mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm.
The automatic hold function of the Roewe i5 is quite practical! I've been driving this car for a while now. Every time I start the engine, I first locate the Autohold button near the steering wheel (the one with a small 'A' symbol), give it a gentle press, and a small light on the dashboard indicates it's activated. When stuck at a red light or stopping at an intersection, it automatically engages the brake, so I don't need to keep my foot on the pedal; a slight press on the accelerator releases it when moving, making starts much easier. I also like using it on slopes, combined with the hill start assist to prevent rolling back. However, I avoid using it in slippery weather conditions, finding the manual brake more reliable. Remember to maintain the brake system regularly to ensure the sensors function properly, and keep the button clean to prevent malfunction due to dust buildup. For prolonged parking, shifting to P mode is more reassuring. It significantly reduces fatigue in city traffic, making driving more enjoyable.
