How to Use Autohold?
2 Answers
Autohold in a car is an automatic parking function. Here are the specific details about automatic parking: 1. Two necessary conditions for activating the vehicle's automatic parking function: all four doors must be locked; both the driver in the main seat and the passenger in the front passenger seat must fasten their seat belts. 2. How to use the vehicle's automatic parking function: Press the autohold button located behind the gear lever. Once activated, it applies braking force to the brake discs, keeping the vehicle in the forward gear. Even if you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will not roll. When road conditions return to normal, simply press the accelerator pedal to release the braking force, and the vehicle will continue moving. 3. Advantages of the automatic parking function: It helps drivers achieve a more relaxed driving experience, effectively reducing fatigue.
After driving for so many years, I've found the Autohold feature particularly useful in urban traffic conditions, making waiting at red lights a breeze. Every time I start the car, I first locate the button marked with an 'A' or 'H' near the steering wheel or on the center console, press it lightly, and the indicator lights up, signaling the system is activated. When coming to a stop, I just need to firmly press the brake pedal, and once the vehicle is completely stationary, the system automatically holds the brakes. I can then completely release my foot to rest, without worrying about the car rolling back or fatigue from keeping the brake pressed. To start moving again, a gentle press on the accelerator is all it takes, and the car moves forward smoothly. This feature is especially handy on slopes, eliminating the hassle of manually pulling the handbrake. Remember to fasten your seatbelt before using it, as this ensures the Autohold works stably, offering both safety and peace of mind. I've also seen a friend forget to activate it before stopping, nearly causing a rollback, so developing the habit of checking the system light is crucial.
