How to turn off brake hold on acura rdx?
The brake hold feature on the Acura RDX is a convenient function that automatically holds the brakes when the vehicle comes to a stop, allowing the driver to take their foot off the brake pedal. However, some drivers may prefer to have more control over the braking system and may want to turn off the brake hold feature. Here's how to do it.
Disabling Brake Hold on the Acura RDX
To turn off the brake hold feature on your Acura RDX, follow these steps:
- Locate the brake hold button on the center console of your RDX. It's usually labeled with a "P" icon.
- Press and hold the brake hold button for a few seconds until the indicator light turns off.
- The brake hold feature is now disabled, and your RDX will behave like a traditional vehicle, requiring you to keep your foot on the brake pedal to hold the car in place.
It's important to note that the brake hold feature can be useful in certain situations, such as when you're stopped at a traffic light or in heavy traffic. However, if you prefer a more hands-on driving experience, disabling the brake hold feature can give you more control over the braking system.
Verifying the Brake Hold is Disabled
To confirm that the brake hold feature is turned off, you can check the following:
- The brake hold indicator light on the center console should be off.
- When you come to a stop, you should feel the need to keep your foot on the brake pedal to hold the car in place.
- The vehicle should not automatically hold itself in place when you take your foot off the brake.
If the brake hold feature is still active after following the steps above, you may need to consult your Acura RDX owner's manual or contact your local Acura dealer for further assistance.
