amazed by the Nissan Ariya’s automatic brake hold feature

[tjongcarmel]

Just wanted to share my experience with my Ariya! Coming from a manual gas car, I used to put it in neutral+handbrake at stoplights. The Ariya's electric drivetrain eliminates the need for a neutral position. The convenient brake hold feature keeps the car stopped with a simple button press, which is much easier on my foot!

So I don't need to press anything to disable it right? Just step right away on the gas and it will disable automatically?

Yes, it just comes right off when you step on the throttle. You can come to a complete stop without hold kicking in: you have to be assertive on the brake, but it releases right when you want it to. Unlike neutral, it keeps you in place on non-level pavement (but I would be careful on an actual hill).

Sometimes when I use the auto-hold, the car jerks when it stops. It only does it if I don't let go of the brake all the way. It doesn't do it if I turn auto-hold off.

I didn't notice any weird stopping. It stops just like a regular car.

Sometimes I hear this little pop when I take my foot off the brake after that auto-hold thing kicks in.
