How to Use Auto Hold Correctly?
2 Answers
Auto Hold is correctly used by pressing the car's brake pedal; pressing the car's one-touch start button; the car's dashboard lights up, and the entire vehicle's power is turned on; pressing the autohold button inside the car to activate the Auto Hold mode. Auto Hold: Auto Hold refers to the vehicle's intelligent electronic parking brake, which is a function within the braking system. After the vehicle comes to a stop, it automatically engages the parking brake to ensure safety, and lightly pressing the accelerator will automatically release the parking brake effect. Conditions for activating the Auto Hold system function: Press the autohold button to turn on the function, and the indicator light will illuminate; the entire vehicle is in a started state; the driver's door is closed; the driver has fastened the seatbelt; the vehicle speed is zero, and the brake pedal is pressed to activate Auto Hold.
As a veteran driver with ten years of automatic transmission experience, I use the auto hold function every day. The first thing I do after getting in the car is pressing the 'A' button on the center console to activate it. At every red light, as soon as I press the brake pedal firmly, the green parking indicator lights up on the dashboard immediately, allowing me to relax my foot. When it's time to go, a gentle tap on the accelerator is all it takes for the system to release smoothly. However, I prefer to turn it off when reversing into parking spaces, as the constant stopping and starting can be confusing for beginners. On rainy days when the road is slippery, extra caution is needed as aggressive acceleration can cause wheel spin. The most considerate feature is hill start assist; with its help, there's no worry about rolling back. Now, even my wife doesn't use the handbrake when driving my car. Overall, this function is a lifesaver in heavy traffic, and I highly recommend new car owners to familiarize themselves with the dashboard indicators. Once you get used to it, you won't want to drive without it.
