Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Electric Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold 2020 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid 2020 Sedan is equipped with an advanced Electric Parking Brake (EPB) system, which integrates seamlessly with its sophisticated hybrid drivetrain. The Electric Parking Brake replaces traditional mechanical handbrakes with an electronic system, allowing for enhanced ease of use and improved cabin aesthetics. Activated by a simple pull of a switch located on the center console, the EPB ensures the vehicle remains stationary when parked, eliminating the need for a manual lever.

Complementing the EPB is the Automatic Brake Hold feature, designed to provide additional convenience and safety during driving. This function maintains brake pressure when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, such as at traffic lights or in heavy traffic, thereby reducing driver fatigue. The system automatically releases the brakes once the accelerator pedal is pressed, ensuring a smooth transition from standstill to motion.

The integration of the EPB and Automatic Brake Hold in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid is controlled through the vehicle's central electronic control unit, which continuously monitors various parameters to ensure optimal performance and safety. These features, combined with the sedan's hybrid powertrain, contribute to a driving experience characterized by both efficiency and luxury. The EPB and Automatic Brake Hold system not only enhance the operational convenience but also add to the overall safety profile of the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid, making it a standout choice in the luxury hybrid sedan market.
