To use the automatic parking in Leiling, after getting into the car, turn on the automatic parking function, shift to D gear, and then release the foot from the brake pedal. Below is an introduction to the Leiling: 1. Introduction: The Leiling is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, specifically tailored for Chinese consumers. It made its debut on April 18, 2014, and was officially launched in the summer of 2014. 2. Powertrain: The new car offers a total of 10 models equipped with either a 1.2T turbocharged engine or a 1.8L hybrid system. 3. Features: The Leiling is built from the A-class car's American version model. With its sharp appearance and excellent quality, the American version has been a best-seller in North America for many years, consistently topping the sales charts in the A-class car market. The Leiling inherits the championship genes of this model, boasting a high-quality foundation.

As a regular commuter driving the Levin, I heavily on the auto-hold function. When stopping at a red light, a firm press on the brake activates AUTOHOLD, and a green parking icon lights up on the dashboard. At this point, you can release the brake pedal, and the car will remain stationary without rolling. To start moving again, just lightly tap the accelerator, and the hold is automatically released—this is especially handy in traffic jams. However, it's important to note: disable auto-hold when reversing to avoid frequent activation, and during heavy rain or on slippery roads, manual control is recommended for added safety. Tests show it grips well on slopes when parked, but remember to apply slightly more throttle when starting uphill.

When my wife first started driving the Levin, she was always afraid of rolling back. I taught her how to use the auto hold function, which is super simple: After starting the engine and fastening the seatbelt, first locate the 'AUTO HOLD' button on the center console and press it to illuminate (it's a round button with the letter A). The next time you stop at a red light, press the brake pedal down firmly for half a second, and when the green parking indicator appears on the dashboard, you can release your foot. To start driving, just lightly press the accelerator and go—no need to shift gears at all. Remind her not to accidentally press the electronic parking brake button when washing the car, as the two are separate.

When repairing a car, I studied the principle of the Leiling's auto hold function, which is essentially an extension of the electronic parking brake. When triggered by firmly pressing the brake, the system maintains brake fluid pressure through the ABS pump, equivalent to automatically holding the brake for you. This design is friendly to transmissions with frequent start-stop operations, reducing clutch wear. However, owners of older cars should note: if the 12V is low on charge, it may cause the function to fail. In such cases, if the dashboard light doesn't illuminate when firmly pressing the brake, it's necessary to check the battery voltage. For long-term inactivity, it's advisable to actively trigger the function several times a month to prevent mechanical sticking.

Leiling Auto Hold Three Steps: 1. Start the engine 2. Fasten seat belt (Mandatory! Otherwise function locked) 3. Press 'AUTO HOLD' button beside gear lever to activate. When using, brake to full stop, then press pedal deeper for 0.5 seconds until green circled '(P)' icon appears on dashboard - now release brake. Simply press accelerator to move off without touching electronic parking button. Pro tip: Extremely convenient for underground parking payment - completely liberates right foot.

Last week, I taught my father-in-law how to use the auto hold feature in his Levin, and found it really user-friendly for seniors. When stopping at a red light, after pressing the brake firmly to come to a complete stop, you can release your foot once the braking vibration felt through the seat disappears. The green indicator on the dashboard is more noticeable than text prompts. It's important to remind elders not to use it when reversing into a parking space, as they would need to press the accelerator each time they adjust the car's position, which could be dangerous. Another small detail: when the auto hold is active and the driver's door is opened, the car automatically shifts to P gear and engages the parking brake—a thoughtful safety logic. It's advisable to turn off the feature on rainy days to avoid misjudgments due to tire slippage.
