Does the autohold light being on indicate it's turned off or on?

[OAiden]

autohold is the vehicle's parking assistance system. The light being on indicates that the system is in an active state. The main functions of the brake assist system include hill start assist to prevent rolling back, automatic release of the handbrake when accelerating, and automatic application of the handbrake when parking. Relevant information about the car key's hold button is as follows: 1. Introduction: Press and hold the hold button for a few seconds to open the trunk, preventing the danger of accidentally opening the trunk while the vehicle is in motion, hence the name "hold". 2. Additional functions: The hold button is not a trunk opening button, but rather a remote engine start button. Within remote distance, press and hold for 2 to 3 seconds to automatically start the car. This feature allows for pre-adjustment of the interior temperature during winter and summer.

When I first started driving, I also didn't understand what the autohold light meant. Later, I specifically checked the manual and learned that the light indicates the function is activated! This auto hold feature is really convenient once enabled - at red lights, you can take your foot off the brake without the car rolling, which is especially useful on uphill sections. However, it's important to note that this function should be turned off when reversing, otherwise it might cause sudden braking. My suggestion is you can try this after starting the car: press the autohold button while holding the brake - if the yellow light on the dashboard comes on, it means it's activated. Press it again to turn off the light and deactivate the function.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I can clearly tell you that when the autohold indicator light is on, it means the function is activated. The working principle of this feature is quite interesting—it relies on the collaboration between the brake system sensors and the electronic control unit. It's especially practical for city driving, as you don't need to keep your foot on the brake pedal at traffic lights. If the light doesn't turn on, don't panic. It might be because the car door isn't properly closed or the brake pedal isn't fully depressed—just re-engage the button. The position of the indicator light varies slightly across different car models, but you'll get familiar with it after observing it a few times.

I use the autohold function for my daily commute, and the light indicates the system is activated. This design is primarily for driving safety, preventing the car from rolling back when starting on a slope. After turning it on, there's a noticeable change in experience: when the car comes to a complete stop, a yellow light on the dashboard illuminates, and at this point, releasing the brake pedal won't cause the car to move. A light tap on the accelerator will automatically deactivate it. Once you get used to it, you'll realize how convenient it is, especially in traffic jams where it significantly reduces strain on your right foot. For new cars, it's advisable to check the manual to confirm the operation method.
