Upon reaching the parking spot, press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Shift the gear lever into N (Neutral) position, keeping the brake pedal depressed. Depending on the slope of the ground, apply the parking brake more firmly when parking on an incline. Release the foot brake; if on a slope, the vehicle may move slightly. Once the car is completely stationary, press the brake pedal again and shift into P (Park) position. After completing these steps, exit the vehicle and lock it.

Driving a car with an auto-hold function makes parking quite effortless. Here’s how I usually do it: First, drive to the desired stopping position, such as at a red light or in a parking lot, and come to a complete stop. Then, press the auto-hold button near the dashboard or activate the function on the central control screen—the car will automatically lock the brakes, so you don’t have to keep pressing the pedal. At this point, you can relax your foot without worrying about the car rolling. It’s especially useful on slopes, eliminating the hassle of a traditional handbrake. To move again, just lightly press the accelerator, and the car will release the brakes and start smoothly. I should remind you to always check that the dashboard indicator light is on before relying on it, confirming the function is properly activated—otherwise, if it fails, it could be dangerous. Practicing a few times helps you get used to it, and it’s worth it for reducing fatigue during city traffic jams. Oh, and don’t get distracted by your phone while parked—keep your foot near the pedal to react quickly to unexpected situations, since even though system failures are rare, it’s better to be prepared.

The key to using the auto-hold function lies in safety and habit formation. I've noticed many new users make mistakes by overlooking details when first encountering it. I always emphasize this when driving: press the button immediately after coming to a complete stop, and the system will actively brake to prevent vehicle movement, especially in rainy conditions or on slopes. To move off, just lightly tap the accelerator, and the car will release smoothly. It's advisable to check if the indicator light is on every time you park; if not, reactivate the function. This design reduces the risk of fatigue driving, saving considerable effort during long trips or in traffic jams. I've also observed that people often forget to switch to manual mode in tight parking spaces—if auto-hold isn't functioning, remember to use the handbrake instead, and never rely on it excessively. In short, always observe your surroundings before and after operating it. Developing this habit will make your driving both safer and more efficient.

Using the auto-hold function for parking is quite simple. After stopping in position, press the button to activate it while braking. To move again, just step on the accelerator. I find it most convenient for city driving, especially when waiting at traffic lights without needing to press the brake. It also prevents rolling back on slopes, ensuring safety. Remember to check if the function is enabled and the indicator light is working properly before driving. Avoid using it on rough roads as the system may misjudge. I got used to it after a few tries and found it quite practical.
