What is the correct method for automatic parking?
2 Answers
The correct method for using automatic parking is as follows: 1. Apply the brakes. 2. Shift the car's gear to N (Neutral). 3. Engage the electronic parking brake. 4. Release the brakes. 5. Shift the car's gear to P (Park). 6. Turn off the vehicle. Below are the features of automatic parking: 1. When encountering situations like traffic lights that require a short stop, the system will automatically apply the brakes to prevent the vehicle from rolling after coming to a complete stop. 2. During uphill starts, the system will automatically apply the brakes to prevent rolling backward. Once you start moving, the system will release the brakes, allowing the vehicle to move forward. 3. When parking and locking the car, there's no need to engage the parking brake manually. The system will automatically apply the brakes to the wheels, but this feature is only available on certain models.
Having driven for over a decade, I find the auto-hold function to be a great daily driving assistant. When parking, first press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, and don't release your foot immediately. Locate the button labeled 'AUTO HOLD' or a similar icon on the dashboard, press it to activate, and you'll hear a slight sound or see an indicator light up, signaling the system is engaged. Now you can release the brake pedal, and the car will stay in place automatically without rolling or slipping backward. Using this feature at traffic lights or in traffic jams saves a lot of leg effort and allows you to focus more on observing road conditions. However, when parking on slopes, even though auto-hold works, I still recommend applying the handbrake first as a precaution. To disengage, simply press the accelerator pedal and the car will move. Regular vehicle maintenance, especially electronic system checks, ensures the function works properly. Overall, the correct method is to activate after stopping, confirm, then release—simple and safe to operate.
