How to use the automatic parking function in Camry?

[VonAlexis]

The steps to use the automatic parking function in Camry are: 1. Press the brake pedal and safely stop the car on the road; 2. Shift the gear to P (Park) position; 3. Pull up the electronic parking brake and press the automatic parking button to activate the function. Taking the 2019 Camry as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4885mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2825mm, and fuel tank capacity 60l. The 2019 Camry features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178ps, maximum power of 131kw, and maximum torque of 210nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

Using the Camry's Auto Hold feature is quite straightforward. Simply press the Auto Hold button near the center console while driving. When stopping, press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete halt, and the system will automatically engage the parking brake. You can then release the brake pedal without worrying about the car rolling. To move again, just gently press the accelerator, and it will automatically disengage. I often use it during rush hour, especially at intersections with frequent traffic lights, as it saves a lot of effort. Remember to distinguish it from the electronic parking brake—Auto Hold is ideal for temporary stops like waiting at red lights or in traffic jams, but for longer stops, you should use the parking brake. It's particularly useful on slopes to prevent the car from rolling backward and causing accidents. I recommend trying it out a few times on less congested roads to get familiar with the operation, and don’t confuse it with cruise control. Always check if the button is functioning properly after starting the car to ensure safety. There’s no special maintenance required for this feature; just drive normally.

The Camry's auto hold feature is a lifesaver in traffic jams. After pressing the button to activate it, when coming to a stop, firmly stepping on the brake engages auto hold, allowing you to release your foot without the car rolling. When you want to move, just step on the accelerator and it releases immediately. With twenty years of driving experience, I believe this feature is beneficial for both beginners and experienced drivers, preventing accidental rollback, especially during hill starts to avoid rear-end collisions. Note that there's an indicator light on the dashboard when it's active; if it's not lit, there might be a fault requiring checks on fuses or system software updates. Long-term use also saves fuel since you don't need to keep your foot on the brake at traffic lights. For daily driving, combining it with auto start-stop or the electronic parking brake yields better results. It's advisable to regularly clean the button to prevent dust from causing malfunctions. Driving safety comes first; don't cut corners for convenience.

Using the automatic parking feature in a Camry is straightforward: press the button to activate the function. Each time you come to a complete stop, the system automatically engages the parking state, allowing you to release the brake without moving. Press the accelerator to deactivate it. Beginners can practice a few times in residential areas or at low speeds to get familiar with it. Remember, when the button light is on after starting, it indicates the system is ready for safer parking. Avoid over-reliance on this feature during rain or snow to prevent potential system response delays.
