How to Use Audi's Auto Hold Function?

[McHailey]

Simply press the auto hold button on the vehicle when waiting at a traffic light or needing a brief stop to activate the function. At this time, there is no need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the vehicle. The system will automatically release when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Below is an introduction to auto hold: 1. Auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, when stopping at a traffic light, it is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Another scenario is during slow-moving traffic jams. Besides being convenient to use, auto hold can also prevent rolling backward, as the auto hold function is developed from the ESP module. During the holding process, the ECU uses sensors installed on the vehicle to determine the vehicle's levelness and the torque required for wheel braking, deciding whether braking is needed to prevent rolling.
