What is the BMW AUTOH function?
1 Answers
BMW AUTOH refers to the automatic parking function. The application of automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid unnecessary vehicle sliding without the need for prolonged braking or engaging the electronic parking brake. Below is an introduction to the automatic parking function: 1. Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a slope: Traditional parking brake devices require the driver to manually release the handbrake based on experience when starting on a slope. The AUTOH automatic parking function, however, uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force via the controller. When starting, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. It automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the running resistance, ensuring a smooth start. 2. Automatically activates four-wheel braking when the vehicle is stopped at a red light: To use this function, simply press the "AUTOH" button lightly to activate the corresponding automatic parking feature. The intelligent AUTOH automatic parking function can automatically engage four-wheel braking when the vehicle is stopped at a red light or on a slope. Even in D or N gear, there is no need to keep the foot on the brake or use the handbrake, as the vehicle remains stationary. To release the stationary state, a light tap on the accelerator is sufficient to disengage the brake. This function is particularly practical for owners who frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic in urban areas and is also favored by those who often experience vehicle rollback.
