How to Use the Auto Hold Function in the Vezel?
2 Answers
The engine start-stop system is enabled by default when starting the vehicle, while the auto hold function requires manual activation. Once activated, the vehicle will automatically hold when the brake is fully depressed. During this interval, releasing the brake will not trigger the engine start-stop; instead, the auto hold function will remain active. Here are some details about the auto hold function: 1. After enabling this function, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake. This feature is particularly useful on slopes and during frequent stops and starts. 2. The application of auto hold technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. Additionally, with the automatic electronic parking brake engaged, it prevents unnecessary vehicle slippage.
I just picked up my new Vezel a couple of days ago, and the auto hold feature is particularly useful in the city. After starting the car, first press the brake pedal, then locate the 'A' button for auto hold near the electronic gear shift and press it. A green indicator light will appear on the dashboard. At a red light, simply press the brake pedal firmly until the green parking symbol shows up on the dashboard, and you can release the foot brake—the car will stay firmly in place without rolling. To start moving again, just lightly press the accelerator, and it disengages automatically, which is much more convenient than using the handbrake. However, remember to turn it off when reversing, as it requires pressing the accelerator each time to move, which isn't very safe. When I took the car to the 4S shop for window tinting, the technician also reminded me that using this feature during long traffic jams can save a lot of effort.
