Automatic Vehicle Hold (Avh) - MG Hector Owner's Manual

DRIVING AND CONTROLS
Note
If the battery is excessively low, EPB will
fail to be applied or released normally. If
the condition above exists, please charge
the battery. We recommend you contact
the MG Authorised Service Center for
solution.
Note
Specialized equipment and technologies
are required for EPB brake lining
replacement. Please do not have it
repaired by yourself or at a maintenance
shop rather than the Service Center.
Otherwise, the EPB system may get
damaged. If the EPB system components
have been overhauled, they are not
warranted for maintenance.

Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH) *

The vehicle provided with EPB has the AVH
function.
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
160
the vehicle in situ (whether on a 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
min, the hydraulic pressure in the brake
system will be automatically released and the
parking will be released, so as to start the
vehicle. 5 min later, it 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.
Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH) Switch*
When the engine has been in operation, the
driver's safety belt is tightened, and the

press the AVH switch, and the background
lamp on the switch illuminates to activate the
AVH function.
Afterwards, if following conditions are met,
the AVH working indicator on the instrument
illuminates. The parking brake will function
and the brake system applies the braking force
to park the vehicle in situ.
