Does Electronic Parking Require Shifting to Neutral?

[Rita]

Using the auto-hold function does not require shifting to neutral. There is no rule stating that the car must be in neutral to use the auto-hold function; you can remain in D gear. Below is an introduction to auto-hold: English name: AUTO-HOLD: This button is generally located on the car's center console, often next to the electronic handbrake in most models. The AUTO-HOLD function is not enabled by default. If you want to use the AUTO-HOLD function, the driver needs to manually activate it. After using the auto-hold function, each time you press the brake to bring the car to a complete stop, an indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. When the indicator light is on, you can release the brake pedal, and the system will automatically assist the driver in completing the braking. Deactivating the auto-hold function: Simply press the brake pedal lightly, and the system will automatically deactivate. For cars frequently driven in urban areas, this function is very convenient. If the auto-hold function is not used, an automatic transmission car can shift to neutral during brief stops, which is beneficial for the clutch plates. If parking and turning off the engine, it is best to shift the car into P gear, as this locks the gears and wheels together, and simultaneously engage the handbrake or electronic handbrake to prevent the car from rolling.
