Should Braking for Parking on an Uphill Be Earlier or Later Than on Flat Roads?
1 Answers
Braking for parking on an uphill should be delayed compared to braking on flat roads. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Reason: When driving uphill, the vehicle speed naturally decreases due to the slope resistance, resulting in a shorter braking distance than usual. Therefore, braking should be delayed compared to on flat roads. 2. Additional Notes: When driving on an uphill section, first press the brake pedal. The hill-start assist system recognizes the braking, and after releasing the brake pedal, it can maintain the braking state for about 2 seconds. During this time, you can accelerate to prevent the possibility of rolling back. Pressing the accelerator to drive improves the safety of starting on a slope. If the slope is small and there is no tendency to roll back, the hill-start assist system does not engage. Most vehicles are equipped with a Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) system and a Hill Hold Control (HHC) system. HBA can automatically recognize when the vehicle is performing emergency braking and can reduce the force required on the brake pedal, making it both convenient and flexible.
