How to Use the Auto Hold Function in a Vehicle?
2 Answers
To use the auto hold function, press the autohold button and apply the brakes when stopping; the auto hold will then activate. The auto hold function will automatically deactivate when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Once enabled, the auto hold function simplifies operations by eliminating the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake.
As an everyday urban commuter, I find the auto-hold function incredibly practical and hassle-free. The first thing I do after starting the car is press the auto-hold button on the center console—usually marked with an 'H' or 'AUTO HOLD'—and a green light indicates it's activated. During drives, when stopping at red lights or in traffic jams, I brake until the car comes to a complete stop, and the system instantly locks the brakes automatically, allowing me to take my foot off and relax. To start moving again, just lightly press the accelerator, and the brakes release seamlessly without any delay. It’s especially useful on slopes, eliminating the old worry of rolling back into the car behind. I’ve made it a habit to enable it every drive for safety, though I recommend new users practice on flat roads first to get familiar with the feature. It significantly reduces fatigue during night drives or long trips—a thoughtful modern car feature.
