What exactly does automatic parking mean?

Automatic parking refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not having to pull the handbrake. Here is a detailed introduction to automatic parking: 1. It can simplify operations by avoiding the use of handbrakes or electronic handbrakes, and automatic transmission models do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. It relies on an intelligent braking system, and only vehicles equipped with brake control systems like ESP can achieve the automatic parking function. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. 3. The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force exceeds the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

This auto-hold feature is pretty cool. I've studied its technical principle: essentially, it's an in-vehicle electronic system that maintains the braking state for you. After activating it by pressing the brake when stopped, you can release the pedal and the car will stay firmly in place without sliding. It relies on sensors to detect wheel speed and throttle signals, with the control unit operating the brake hydraulics or motor to ensure no movement occurs. Operation is simple—just press a button inside the car to enable it. The system automatically locks when stopped and releases instantly when you press the accelerator. It's especially useful for city traffic jams or long red lights, preventing leg fatigue and cramps. It can also work in tandem with the electronic parking brake, making it more effective at preventing rollback on slopes. Some models require regular software updates to avoid sensor misjudgments. Overall, it's highly intelligent and much more effortless than traditional mechanical handbrakes.

The auto hold feature has been incredibly useful in my driving experience: during traffic jams or at red lights, once I press the brake and the car stops, I can release my foot, and the system automatically holds the car in place, eliminating the need to keep pressing the brake pedal. This gives my feet a much-needed rest. Starting off is smooth too—just press the accelerator and go. This function is especially handy during peak commuting hours in the city, preventing leg fatigue. Most cars have a button for it on the central console—just press to activate. It's also safe on slopes, preventing rollback, making it easy for new drivers to get the hang of after a few tries. Combined with the auto start-stop feature, it saves fuel and is eco-friendly, though some older cars may have a slight jerk during start-stop, which can be adjusted. While it's convenient, be extra cautious on wet roads after rain to avoid minor mishaps.

The auto-hold function is a great assistant for driving safety: It prevents accidents caused by unintended vehicle movement, especially by automatically engaging the brakes when stopped on steep slopes or in traffic jams, eliminating the risk of rolling. For novice drivers, this feature reduces the hassle of manual operations, with the system monitoring throttle input to ensure smooth release. Simple to operate with a one-button activation, the dashboard displays status reminders. Integrated with vehicle stability control technology, backup mechanisms are in place in case of sensor failure. However, regular inspection of the brake system is necessary to avoid performance degradation due to dust accumulation. This design, an extension of anti-lock braking systems, is worth promoting.

What Are the Standards for the Reverse Parking Test?

Evaluation criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification. If the vehicle crosses the line, fails to enter the parking space, or stops midway, it is considered a failure. Exceeding the 4-minute time limit without completing the reverse parking also leads to disqualification. Below is relevant information about reverse parking: 1. Overview: Reverse parking became a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is a key assessment point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into a garage from both sides while in motion, with a time limit imposed during the test. 2. Methods: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the 'non'-shaped reverse parking, commonly found in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside 'one'-shaped reverse parking, often referred to as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.
