Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Electric Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Electric is equipped with an advanced Electric Parking Brake (EPB) featuring Automatic Brake Hold (ABH) functionality. The Electric Parking Brake system replaces traditional manual handbrakes, offering enhanced convenience and safety. Activated via a switch located on the center console, the EPB engages the rear brakes electronically, ensuring secure parking. The Automatic Brake Hold feature maintains brake pressure when the vehicle is at a complete stop, such as at traffic signals or in heavy traffic, without the need for continuous pedal pressure from the driver. When the driver presses the accelerator, the ABH system automatically releases the brakes, enabling a smooth transition from a stop to motion. This integration not only alleviates driver fatigue but also enhances overall driving comfort. The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid’s EPB with ABH exemplifies Acura's commitment to integrating advanced technology for improved vehicle safety and driver convenience.
