Acura TLX Electronic Gear Selector and Brake Hold 2022 Sedan Specification

The 2022 Acura TLX sedan features an advanced Electronic Gear Selector and Brake Hold system, which together enhance driving convenience and safety. The Electronic Gear Selector replaces the traditional gear stick with a sleek, button-operated interface. This modern system provides a more intuitive and streamlined method for shifting gears, reducing physical effort and minimizing cabin clutter. The gear selector's design integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's interior, contributing to the TLX's sophisticated aesthetic.

The Brake Hold function complements the Electronic Gear Selector by maintaining brake pressure when the vehicle is at a complete stop, such as at traffic lights or in heavy traffic. This feature allows drivers to relax their foot from the brake pedal without the car rolling forward or backward, reducing driver fatigue during prolonged driving conditions. The system automatically disengages when the accelerator is pressed, ensuring a smooth transition back to motion.

Both the Electronic Gear Selector and Brake Hold system are engineered for reliability and ease of use, reflecting Acura's commitment to combining luxury with cutting-edge technology. The intuitive operation of these features promotes a safer and more enjoyable driving experience, making the 2022 Acura TLX a standout in its class.
