How to Use the HOLD Function in a Car?
1 Answers
After starting the car, press the HOLD button, and a green HOLD light will illuminate on the dashboard. For example, when waiting at a traffic light, stepping on the brake will turn the HOLD button light orange, indicating that the car has come to a stop. Below is some related information about the HOLD button: 1. HOLD is the button for autohold, with EV next to it representing the pure electric mode, which can only be selected if the battery meets certain conditions. P is the electronic parking brake button. The automatic hold function, known as AUTOHOLD in English, is equivalent to stepping on the brake; it continues to provide braking force even after releasing the brake pedal. This function is particularly useful on slopes and during frequent stops and starts. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. The AUTOHOLD function, however, uses a slope sensor to provide precise braking force through the control unit. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal. When the driving force exceeds the resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, ensuring a smooth start.
