They run at 20%. If they don't help why use them on motorcycles then?

Because they can sell them as a safty feature, you wouldn't want to buy a car that doesn't have xyz, don't worry about the data, you want your family to be safe right?

Auto parking brake release when you press the accelerator IS available on US models, you simply have to press the parking brake button down before pressing the accelerator.

Not sure what you mean? That’s manual release as you’re physically pressing the button to release it. With ROW setting, you don’t need to touch the button again to set off. Just press the gas pedal as normal to set off and the park brake simultaneously and automatically disengages itself.

With US models most people know that You still have to press the foot brake to release the parking brake.

I was just sharing that you can actually use the accelerator to release it too.



At the stop sign on a steep hill.
Pull up parking brake.
Before you go, Press your finger on the parking brake button and hold then step on the gas and car takes off without rolling back.
