Introduction to the buttons next to the Civic's gear shift: 1. The top left button is for Auto Hold, which refers to an automatic braking function; 2. The bottom left button is for the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control; 3. The top right button is for the Engine Start-Stop system, which temporarily stops the engine when the vehicle comes to a halt (e.g., at a traffic light); 4. The bottom right button is for Eco Mode, which, when activated, enhances fuel efficiency for more economical driving. Here are some related details: 1. Auto Hold is an automatic braking function. Once activated, for instance when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to manually engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying the operation. 2. The Electronic Parking Brake works on the same principle as the mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking through the friction between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has evolved from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 3. The Engine Start-Stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a traffic light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine.
