What do the P button and HOLD button mean in the Corolla?

The P button in the Corolla is the electronic parking brake, and the HOLD button refers to the automatic parking function. HOLD button: The HOLD button in the Corolla refers to the automatic parking function. Usage scenarios include when starting the vehicle on snowy or icy roads in winter, where the torque output from the automatic transmission is too low, making it difficult for the vehicle to start or causing frequent wheel slippage. In this case, the gear needs to be fixed in 2nd or 3rd gear, which is achieved by using the HOLD button. Pressing this button in the corresponding gear prevents the transmission from shifting. When descending a mountain road, 3rd gear is used for engine braking, also achieved with the HOLD button. During overtaking, when the transmission is in the highest gear, pressing the HOLD button causes the transmission to downshift by one gear to provide greater torque output, which is one of the main uses of the HOLD button. P button: The P button in the Corolla is the electronic parking brake, used when parking the vehicle.
I often use the P button in my Corolla, which stands for the parking gear. When you park and need to get out for a long time, engaging it locks the transmission, keeping the wheels from moving, ensuring the car stays stable and doesn't roll away. This is especially important on slopes or in garages. As for the Hold button, it's the auto-hold function. At red lights or in traffic jams, pressing it means the car will automatically stop and won't slide forward even if you're not pressing the brake. To start again, just press the accelerator to release it. It's worry-free, labor-saving, and saves brake pads, making it perfect for crowded city roads. I think these two features are very friendly to beginners, reducing the risk of accidental starts and ensuring safety. Making good use of them while driving can greatly enhance the overall driving experience.
