How to Set Up the Auto Hold Function in the New Camry?
2 Answers
When searching for a parking spot, maintain a speed of 30km/h or less. The letter P will appear on the dashboard display, indicating that the auto hold system is automatically activated. A triangle will appear next to the letter "P" on the dashboard display, indicating that a suitable parking spot has been found. Shift the gear into reverse. The system will prompt whether to use the auto hold function. Press the "OK" button on the multifunction steering wheel to confirm.
Recently drove the new Camry, and the auto hold function is really practical. After starting the car, just find the small button labeled AUTO HOLD on the center console, press it lightly, and it lights up to activate. When stopping, it automatically brakes to prevent rolling back, making hill starts especially worry-free. I often use it in city traffic jams or at red lights, so I don’t have to keep pressing the brake pedal, which saves my legs from getting sore. The setup is super simple—just turn it on and forget about it, but if you’re stuck in long traffic jams, remember the system might consume a bit more power. For everyday driving, I recommend keeping it on—it ensures stable parking, enhances safety, and works even smarter with adaptive cruise control. It feels like this feature is a lifesaver for new drivers, and after using it a few times, driving becomes much more relaxed.
