Driving and Operating
The driver depresses the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle after the function is activated,
or the driver depresses the brake pedal
when the vehicle is motionless and the
engine idles. After the brake pedal is
released, the hydraulic pressure in the brake
system will be kept to park (whether on
downhill or uphill pavement or on flat
ground), at the time there is no need to
draw back EPB to park.
If the driver depresses the accelerator and
releases the clutch to start the vehicle
within 5 minutes, the hydraulic pressure in
the brake system will be automatically
released and the parking will be released, so

will automatically switch to the EPB caliper
to clamp and park, and the hydraulic
pressure in the brake system will be
released.
Start and shutdown of AVH can be
memorized. If AVH is in the on/off state
when the power is off last time, AVH keeps
in the corresponding state when the power
is on next time.
