How to Use the Camry Hold Button?

How to use the Camry hold button: 1. After starting the car, press the Hold button, and a green hold light will illuminate on the dashboard. For example, when waiting at a red light, step on the brake, and the Hold button on the dashboard will turn orange, indicating that the car has stopped. 2. When the red light turns green, step on the accelerator to move. After the engine stops, hold starts, the car turns off, step on the accelerator to start, the car engine restarts, and hold is automatically released, the engine restarts. Additional notes: 1. HOLD is the autohold button, next to it is EV which is the pure electric mode. The prerequisite for selecting pure electric mode is that the battery meets certain conditions. 2. P is the electronic parking brake button. The English name for automatic parking is AUTOHOLD. This function is equivalent to stepping on the brake, and it still provides parking braking force after releasing the brake. This function is especially suitable for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starting and stopping.
I've always found the HOLD button in the Camry particularly useful and have specifically studied its usage. After starting the car, fasten your seatbelt directly. When you need to make a short stop while driving, press the brake pedal all the way down and press the HOLD button next to the gear lever—a green 'HOLD' indicator will light up on the dashboard. You can then release the brake, and the car will remain firmly stopped without rolling. To start moving again, lightly press the accelerator, and the parking hold will automatically disengage. Be extra cautious when using this feature on rainy or icy roads to prevent slipping, and it's best to avoid using it while reversing to prevent confusion. It's especially helpful during rush hour traffic jams, saving effort by not needing to keep your foot on the brake at red lights. However, this function cannot replace the handbrake; for long stops, it's safer to shift to P and engage the handbrake.
