Auto Hold
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:25 pm
Hi guys,
I have the Niro Self-Charging level 3 for a few months now, loving it, and can regularly get over 50mpg driving in and around town. I haven't hit those m/ways yet. Anyway, I have a few questions for the technically minded or Kia mechanic.
- Will Auto Hold disengage if rear ended, or does it act like a true handbrake? If the Niro is pushed forward with force [rear ended] will the wheels turn, and if they turn will that be enough for the Auto Hold feature to disengage?
- Why doesn't the brake lights light up when using left paddle in Regenerative Braking position 1 with my foot off the gas? When in position 3 and foot off the gas, the brake lights do light up. Seems strange. In either position however, when the car hits about 5mph, the Regenerative Braking stops and free wheels again.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
