What does an 'A' inside a circle mean in a car?
1 Answers
An 'A' inside a circle in a car represents the Auto Hold function. By pressing the Auto Hold button in the vehicle, this function can be activated. When enabled, the driver does not need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the vehicle. The system will release the brake automatically when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. The Auto Hold function serves the following purposes: 1. During short stops, such as at traffic lights, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling; 2. When starting on an uphill slope, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward, and it will release the wheels automatically when starting to move forward; 3. When parking and locking the car, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels (this feature is only available in certain car models).
