Is There Any Harm in Auto Hold?
1 Answers
The potential hazards of auto hold are as follows: 1. Auto Hold, also known as AUTOHOLD, functions as if it is pressing the brake for you, providing parking brake force even after releasing the brake pedal. This feature is particularly useful when driving on slopes or during frequent stops and starts. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the parking brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. In contrast, the AUTOHOLD feature uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, ensuring a smooth start. 3. The intelligent AUTOHOLD feature automatically activates the four-wheel brake when stopping at traffic lights or on slopes. Even in D or N gear, you don't need to keep your foot on the brake or use the handbrake, as the vehicle remains stationary.
