How to Set Up the Auto Hold Function in the New Camry?

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.

Just bought the new Camry, and the auto hold feature is awesome! After starting the engine, just glance at the AUTO HOLD button near the dashboard, press it, and the green light turns on – that's it. When driving, it automatically brakes the car when you come to a stop, and you can just press the accelerator to go without pulling the handbrake. It's especially handy on slopes, preventing the car from rolling back and saving a lot of trouble. Tried it a few times, got the hang of it quickly, and now driving feels more confident. I think it's perfect for daily commutes, especially on routes with lots of traffic lights – it reduces distractions. But don’t forget to familiarize yourself with the button’s location; practice a few times to operate it smoothly. New drivers should give it a try – it really enhances the driving experience, no more worrying about rolling back or making mistakes.

Setting up the auto hold is not difficult. After starting the car, press the AUTO HOLD button to activate it, which automatically applies the brakes to prevent rolling when parked. Safety first—I always make sure the green light is on before feeling at ease. This feature reduces the risk of starting mistakes and provides more stability on slopes, helping to avoid minor accidents. Remember to release the foot brake when parked—it will stay in place, but don’t rely on it when the road is slippery, and always check if the system responds normally.

The auto-hold function uses sensors to control braking. On the Camry, press the button to activate after starting, and the system automatically monitors the terrain to stop the wheels. It saves effort and fuel while extending brake life, making driving easier. The interface displays the status for easy management, but be cautious of function delays on low-traction roads. Setting it to stay on once is more efficient in congested urban areas.
