Is There a Difference Between Hill Start Assist and Auto Hold?

[StDante]

Hill Start Assist and Auto Hold are different. Hill Start Assist refers to the system applying brakes to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, reducing the risk of rollback accidents when parking on a slope. When starting on an uphill is difficult, the vehicle can automatically brake to prevent it from rolling backward. Its function is to allow the vehicle to maintain braking even when the driver's right foot leaves the brake pedal during a hill start without using the handbrake. The Auto Hold system is a technical application that can automatically engage the handbrake while the car is running, eliminating the need for the driver to hold the brake for a long time when the vehicle is stopped. With the automatic electronic parking brake engaged, it prevents unnecessary rolling of the vehicle. Its function is to ensure the vehicle does not roll backward, making it suitable for both uphill and downhill slopes as well as frequent starts and stops.
