5. Driving guide
For the sake of safety, the AUTO HOLD will be
disabled and the parking brake will be locked
under one or more of the following conditions:
1. The ENGINE START/STOP button is set
to “OFF” position.
2. The driver’s door is opened or the seat
belt is unfastened when the vehicle is
stopped.
3. The AUTO HOLD button is pressed to
disable AUTO HOLD.
CAUTION
When driving into a mechanism such as
a vehicle washing device that transports
the vehicle with a conveyor belt, be sure
to disable the AUTO HOLD, otherwise the
vehicle cannot move or may run off the
path.
5.3 Electronic service brake
system
5.3.1 Electronic stability program
(ESP)
ESP can effectively reduce the risk of sideslip.
ESP determines the driving intention of the
driver according to the steering wheel angle
and the vehicle speed, and compares it with
the actual driving condition of the vehicle
continuously. If the vehicle deviates from the
normal driving route (such as sideslip), ESP
will correct it by applying braking force to the
corresponding wheels.
ESP returns the vehicle to a stable driving
state through the torsional force generated by
braking.
Oversteer
-
When the vehicle tends to oversteer (i.e.,
drift), the system will apply braking force
mainly to the front wheel on the outer side
of the curve.
