How to use the automatic parking in CRV?

CRV automatic parking usage method: The CRV automatic parking button is located on the left side of the gear lever. The usage method is very simple. After starting the engine, press the BRAKEHOLD button to activate it. Once the automatic parking function is enabled, you don't need to pull the handbrake when waiting at traffic lights. The CRV's drive system is a dual-pump real-time four-wheel drive. Under normal conditions, it operates as a front-wheel drive. When encountering adverse road conditions such as rain, snow, or sand, causing the front drive wheels to slip, the hydraulic system will promptly distribute torque to the rear wheels, enabling four-wheel drive until the road conditions return to normal. The CRV is equipped with SRS dual airbags, door beams, front and rear 3-point ELR seat belts, seat belt reminders, and a seat safety system with pre-tensioners and load limiters.
I find the CRV's auto hold feature extremely convenient to use. After starting the car, locate and press the button labeled 'Auto Hold' on the center console to activate it. When stopping at a red light, press the brake pedal until the car comes to a complete stop, and the system will automatically lock the brakes, eliminating the need to keep your foot on the pedal. At this point, you can relax your foot, change songs, or grab something. When the light turns green, simply press the accelerator lightly to move, with quick response. This feature is incredibly useful in traffic jams or during long red lights, reducing fatigue and preventing the risk of rolling back. Just remember it only works in D gear, not N gear, and ensure the button is lit when activating the system. Be cautious on slopes to ensure the ground is level to prevent unintended movement. With a bit of practice during daily stops, you'll get used to it quickly.
