Is it necessary to shift to N gear with automatic hold?

[LylaDella]

With automatic hold, there is no need to shift to N gear. Automatic hold is an automatic braking function. Once activated, when waiting at traffic lights, there is no need to pull the handbrake or electronic handbrake, and naturally, there is no need to change gears, simplifying the operation. You can stay in D gear all the time. When waiting at a traffic light, after the car comes to a complete stop and the indicator light on the dashboard lights up, it means the automatic braking action is completed, and you can release your right foot from the brake pedal. When the green light turns on, pressing the accelerator pedal will cancel the automatic hold function, but there might be a slight jerk. The hold function is very convenient and greatly simplifies operation in urban traffic conditions, but there might be a slight lurch when starting to accelerate, so it's advisable to maintain enough distance from the car in front. For novice drivers, it's better to shift to N gear and get used to the new car for a while before using this function to avoid traffic accidents.
