Auto Hold button usage method: 1. Press the foot brake; 2. Shift from N to R gear; 3. Release the handbrake; 4. Observe the rear route through the rearview mirror; 5.

After activating this function, it can simplify operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic handbrake, eliminating the need for frequent switching between D to N or D to P. The function of Auto Hold is to prevent the vehicle from rolling, suitable for uphill, downhill, or frequent starts and stops.
I tried the auto-hold button right after getting my new car. It's located on the central console with an 'H' or 'A' symbol. After starting the engine, pressing it activates the function - at red lights, I don't need to keep my foot on the brake as the system automatically holds the car in position. When the light turns green, just step on the accelerator to move smoothly. This is especially great during my daily commute traffic jams or long red lights, reducing foot fatigue while allowing better focus on road conditions. However, first-time users need some adaptation - particularly on steep hill starts, it sometimes releases slowly causing slight rollback, so I practiced on flat ground first. The benefits include reducing fatigue-driving risks and helping beginners focus on safety. Once accustomed, it becomes a driving essential.
