The dashboard 'A' with a circle illuminated indicates that the automatic parking system is activated. When this switch is turned on, the vehicle will not continue to move after being braked to a stop, even if the brake pedal is released. It will only resume movement when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. To deactivate this function, the button can be pressed manually. Introduction to Automatic Parking: Automatic parking, also known as AUTO-HOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent switching between D to N or D to P. How Automatic Parking Works: The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function 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 accelerator pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

What are the standard dimensions of a parking space?

According to the "Urban Road On-Street Parking Space Setting Standards," the standard size of a general parking space is determined based on the size of the vehicle. Small parking spaces typically measure 2.5~2.7 meters in width and 5~6 meters in length. The width of a single-lane turnaround should be no less than 3.5 meters, while a double-lane turnaround should be no less than 5 meters. The turnaround section should accommodate a vehicle's one-time turnaround, and for safety or to accommodate medium-to-large vehicles, it is often set to 6 meters or more. Details are as follows: (Length ≤ 6m, width ≤ 1.8m): The spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.5 meters, and the spacing between a vehicle and a wall or the end of the parking space should also be no less than 0.5 meters. (6m < length ≤ 8m, 1.8m < width ≤ 2.2m): The spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.7 meters. Small vehicle parking space: Length ≥ 5 meters, width 2.2~2.5 meters. Large vehicle parking space: Length 7~10 meters, width 4 meters, depending on the vehicle type. According to the "Architectural Design Standards for Parking Garages," the dimensions for small vehicle indoor parking spaces are as follows: The design dimensions for small vehicles are 4.8m (length) x 1.8m (width) x 2.0m (height). For perpendicular parking, the minimum parking space size should be 5.3m (length) x 2.4m (width), with a minimum driveway width of 5.5m in front of the parking space. The minimum distance between a small vehicle and the side walls should be 0.6m, and the minimum distance from the front and rear walls should be 0.5m. Modern underground parking garages have large floor areas and numerous parking spaces. To ensure smooth vehicle movement, driveways are planned to be relatively wide. Driveways, as horizontal passages dedicated to parking spaces, account for a significant portion of the allocated floor area, often 50% or more of the total parking space area. Parking space arrangements can be categorized into three types: parallel, angled (30°, 45°, or 60°), and perpendicular. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements. Details are as follows: Parallel parking space: Standard length is 6 meters, width is 2.5 meters. Angled parking space: Diagonal length should be 6 meters, width 2.8 meters, with a perpendicular distance of 2.5 meters between the two diagonal lines. Perpendicular parking space: Length ≥ 5 meters (typically 6 meters), width 2.5 meters. The optimal standard size is 2.5m x 5.3m. Article 33, Paragraph 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: Within urban road areas, government authorities may designate parking spaces without obstructing pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Article 34: Roads in front of schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and nursing homes without pedestrian crossing facilities must have crosswalks marked and warning signs installed. Sidewalks on major urban roads should include tactile paving as per planning, complying with national standards. Article 56: Motor vehicles must park in designated areas. Parking on sidewalks is prohibited, except in spaces marked under Article 33. Temporary parking must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Article 63: Parking is prohibited in areas with no-parking signs or markings. Additionally, on-street parking spaces must not have ground locks to prevent private occupation. Roads prohibiting parking on one side may have barriers, posts, or bollards installed. After removal or cancellation of parking spaces, markings and related facilities must be promptly cleared to prevent unauthorized parking and ensure road safety. Off-street public parking lots should not have on-street parking spaces within 200m~300m. Quantitative regulations for on-street parking spaces: The "Urban Road On-Street Parking Space Setting Standards" specify road width requirements. For two-way roads: if the actual width exceeds 12 meters, parking spaces may be set on both sides; between 12m and 8m, on one side; below 8m, none. For one-way roads: if the actual width exceeds 9 meters, parking spaces may be set on both sides; between 9m and 6m, on one side; below 6m, none. For disabled parking spaces, at least 2% of total spaces must be designated, with a minimum of one space if there are 20 or more total spaces. Parking space marking colors: White: Paid parking spaces. Blue: Free parking spaces. Yellow: Reserved parking spaces. Time-limited parking spaces: Dotted border.
