BYD Atto 3 - Creep movement

[deleted]

There's an auto-hold switch in the cabin, this automatically applies to brake to prevent creeping.

There is auto hold button but needs to be engaged every drive which is a pain. Don’t know why can’t Have permanently on.

Mine stays engaged always

We have the dolphin Mrs drives it mostly. Need to check if another setting.

Same.

What were you driving before the Tesla?

From the BYD Dolphin Manual it notes that the AVH defaults to off on power on and must be manually engaged every time. That's unfortunate, but at least you have the feature. On my BYD Atto 3 it's on most of the time, but automatically disables when I'm parking which can be useful when negotiating into a spot by controlling speed with brake pedal.

But the auto hold only works if I press the brake until the end right? If I don't brake totally the car, the creep happens To give an example I was going down a ramp and braking slightly, when I got to a flat surface and losen the brake and the car started moving backwards ( I had R on) and there was another car that I almost hit.... I got scared xD I wanted the car to just not move by itself xD But clearly auto hold is the only thing stopping the creep for what it seems. Thanks anyway.

I know, but I wanted to stop the creeping like forever :P Thanks for the reply

A diesel car I know it had the creep. But after some years with the one pedal drive on Tesla, this creep is uncomfortable xD

I think you are thinking of one pedal driving which isn't something the BYD's currently have. The Regen won't bring the car to a stop on its own like in a Tesla or other cars with one pedal driving as the Regen is mostly engaged with the brake pedal manually.

The autohold on BYD activate right after you hit 0km/h, you dont need to hold it in. Unlike other cars where you have to step the brake pedal abit further to activate the autohold

This is a standard behaviour of any automatic car, unless there is auto hold activated.. all the auto cars, petrol/diesel/ev that I have driven are like this.. I will be annoyed if they dont move when I ease the brakes..

From my understanding BYD car are design to mimic ICE car behavior that why it has creep and no one pedal driving.

Time to unlearn all the Tesla OPD habits :) BYD doesn't do OPD they do blended braking, you won't ever come to a full stop just by letting off the accelerator. As others have said, put Auto Hold on, it's the bottom left button around the gear selector. Use the brake pedal like you would in any normal car and once you come to a complete stop Auto Hold will kick in. Don't fret about loss of regen with pressing the brake pedal with blended braking all of the real regen happens there anyway. You'll be able to see this in the power meter on the left of the driver info display. Drive the car in standard regen and let off the accelerator and the car will run at around 10kW of regen emulating doing the same thing as if you were in top gear in a manual ICE Have the car in High regen and it's like dropping back a gear and letting off the accelerator. Typically around 28-30kW of regen. Drive along at 100km and slow quickly for a 60km zone and you'll easily see the car spike to around 100kW of regen before tapering off. The car will seemlessly transition to using friction brakes when needed like going down a steep driveway or once the car is under 4-5km/hr. About the only way you can ever tell the car is using the friction brakes is if you see the power meter drop to 0-1kW when you know that you're actively braking.

It behaves like any automatic vehicle, if you have driven one. In D, it has basic lower rev engine power. This is totally expected behaviour. Learn to drive it

I turn mine on and off frequently. We have a small tight garage, so need to creep it in. Then engage it when back on the road. Fortunately it’s a very convenient button

That is literally not true with my Tang at least. It is necessary to step a little bit further in order to activate the auto hold.

Perhaps different models are programmed differently. My Atto3 immediately activates hold upon stopping.

I get what you mean. But no, it cannot be turned off. It's part of the fact that BYD's don't have 1 pedal driving. They're just going to creep if you don't put enough pressure to activate auto hold. Also, it doesn't creep like ICE cars because the car needs to actively send power to the motor(s). So there's always going to be a little bit of free rolling depending on the incline you're on. The car will adjust creep torque as required, so it's not going to be like a manual car, but it's also not going to be like an automatic ICE car.

I love it. This is one of the reasons I didn't get a Tesla Y after test driving it.

Don't blame ya. I drive a Model 3 Highland and I'm thoroughly spoilt by one-pedal driving. We have a BYD M6 EV minivan in the household too, and I wish that also had OPD!

Once you get used to auto hold, it's so much better

It literally does though?

I will get used to it! I love the car, this was the only "bad" thing that I have to say about it :P

I'll give you a straighter answer than the other commenters. No, there is no way to turn off creep on the Atto 3. It is how the car behaves. Conditions when auto hold will not work from my experience is during high steering angles, after changing gears, when the car hasn't stopped for more than 1 second, or if the brake is not depressed enough. Look for the green (A) symbol on your dash that indicates auto hold is on. Things I found that made my car more comfortable: \- Set the power mode to sport (reduce sticky throttle feeling) \- Set the regen to high \- Set the brake assist to comfort, and turn on comfort parking

Same in dolphin. As soon as speed gets to zero I can take the foot off the break.

Thank you so much for the answer! I will adapt to the car, I like it very much!

It's literally an automatic car, this is how they behave. Nothing to do with BYD, every auto does this because the car is in gear.

getting used to it in Atto 3.. my previous Honda ICE didn't have auto hold... however i tend to switch it off in bumper to bumper snail pace traffic. that creep thing is a bigger help there.. lol

Exactly right. It's to transition drivers from existing ICE vehicles as easily as possible to EV without any gimmicky technology, unlike Tesla. Also, I find it's much safer for new EV drivers to have creep because if you're reversing or going forward into a driveway, you've already got your foot on the brake so you've got much greater control than prodding the throttle in confined spaces.

This is wrong. It 100% can be turned off. There's a physical button below the year shift. It's called Auto Hold It is very similar to an automatic ice car, almost identical. The creep feature is very handy for negotiating tight spaces like garages or parking, and is safer because the foot is already on the brake.

This is wrong, it can be turned off, there's a physical button below the gear selector called Auto Hold.

I've driven 4 cars, all of them have auto hold: 1. Mazda 6 - It has auto hold that works like BYD, it permanently does have creep. 2. Wuling Air Ev - It has auto hold that works like BYD, it permanently does not have creep. 3. Volvo XC60 T8 - It has auto hold that works like BYD, you can toggle creep on and off. 4. Sealion 7 - It has auto hold, I haven't been able to turn creep off. What I'm trying to say is, creep and auto hold are 2 different functions. I know for certain that the Tesla Model 3 has a creep toggle like the Volvo XC60 T8, which is what OP is looking for.

I'm 100% positive because I've had my BYD for three years. If you turn on auto hold it will 100% stop the creep.

I'll agree with you, if you could do a test. On a flat road going 10kph, without braking, will the car stop itself? If it stops itself, then there is no creep. If it doesnt, then there is creep. My Sealion 7 has permanent creep which I can see. When driving below 10kph, it has a 2kw motor draw that goes to 0kw when braking.

I don't need to test it. My Atto does exactly the same as the Sealion. Not really an issue at speed, it's more handy at lower speeds for managing parking in garages, etc.

I find it more handy as well, and appreciate that creep stops me from rolling backwards on hills. But I know that a former tesla users may not want this behaviour because the cars do not have it enabled as standard.

Yeah, a lot of Tesla drivers are obsessed with one-pedal driving, which doesn't interest me at all, to be honest.

OPD is a slightly different setting. It gives permission for the car to use the physical brakes to stop. I actually like both creep and no-creep setting, but find it difficult to modulate OPD (at least on the volvo "B" mode). My experience is that you cant taper off smoothly when coming to a halt, causing and abrupt jolt. I can't say I've tried the model 3s OPD though.

You got it wrong. We're not talking about disabling auto hold. We're talking about disabling the creeping. BYDs can't do it because they have no one pedal driving.

I'm a creeeeeeeep..... I'm a weirdoooooo...... Wth am I doing hereeeee

I'm talking about creep.That's managed by the Auto Hold button. It's got nothing to do with one-pedal driving.

I know what it is

I don't know what to tell you man. That's how my Tang works. It requires a certain pressure before auto hold kicks in. Otherwise it'll keep creeping.
