Can Auto Hold Be Installed Afterwards?

[DelStella]

Auto Hold is difficult to install aftermarket due to the complexity involved, as it requires extensive disassembly and is a systemic configuration. The key challenge is finding a suitable retrofit kit for installation. Here is some additional information: 1. Auto Hold is an automatic braking function: Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking feature that, when activated (e.g., while stopped at a traffic light), eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. This system is already common abroad, but currently, only two models in China are equipped with it: the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and the Lexus LS. 2. Principle: Radar sensors around the vehicle measure the distance and angle between the car and surrounding objects. The onboard computer then calculates the operational process and adjusts the steering wheel rotation based on speed. The driver only needs to control the speed. In the coming years, more high-end imported cars will likely include this feature as standard, and it may even appear in domestic models. This shouldn’t be surprising, as the system is not overly complex.
