To use the automatic parking function in Tayron, simply press the AUTOHOLD button located near the electronic handbrake to activate the feature. Below are relevant details about the automatic parking function: Introduction: The automatic parking function, known as AUTOHOLD in English, is an automatic handbrake feature. Once activated, it eliminates the need to manually engage the handbrake, such as when stopping at traffic lights. This function is particularly useful on slopes and during frequent stops and starts. Function: In situations requiring short stops, like at traffic lights, the system automatically brakes the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling. During uphill starts, the system automatically applies the brakes to prevent backward sliding and releases them as the vehicle moves forward. Additionally, when parking and locking the vehicle, there's no need to engage the handbrake manually, as the system will automatically secure the wheels.
I often use the auto-hold function when driving my Volkswagen Tayron. It's called AUTO HOLD, which automatically locks the car in place when stationary, eliminating the need to manually engage the handbrake. The correct way to use it is: when coming to a stop, first press the brake pedal to bring the car to a complete halt, then press the AUTO HOLD button on the dashboard. A light will illuminate, indicating the function is activated. At this point, you can release the brake pedal, and the car won't roll away—especially useful at traffic lights or on slopes. To start moving again, simply press the accelerator, and the system will automatically disengage the hold. Remember, the car must be completely stationary before activating, otherwise it won't work. I use this feature daily during my commute—it's safe and convenient, significantly reducing fatigue in heavy traffic. However, note that the function may respond slower if the battery is low, so occasional vehicle checks are wise. I usually perform monthly maintenance to ensure the system works properly. Volkswagen's design of this feature is thoughtful—it becomes second nature with regular use. New drivers might need a few tries to get comfortable with it, but don't be afraid to make mistakes.
