Why Should Automatic Hold Be Turned Off When Reversing?
1 Answers
Automatic hold should be turned off when reversing to protect the transmission. Below is an introduction to automatic hold: 1. Concept: Automatic hold, also known as AUTOHOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic handbrakes. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent switching between D to N or D to P. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle is temporarily stopped and needs to restart shortly after, the parking function is handled by the ESP-controlled brakes. The computer uses a series of sensors to measure the vehicle's levelness and wheel torque to determine any tendency for the vehicle to roll.
