What does auto in automatic transmission mean?

[MilesAnn]

Auto in automatic transmission refers to the auto hold system, which prevents the vehicle from rolling backward and is suitable for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starts and stops. Here is some extended information about auto in automatic transmission: 1. Concept: The auto hold system and electronic parking brake can form an intelligent brake control system, integrating temporary braking during driving and long-term braking after parking. 2. Control method: Parking braking is achieved through electronic control. Here is some extended information about the autohold operation steps: 1. At a red light, in traffic, on a bridge, or when the car stops: After firmly pressing the brake, you can lift your foot, which prevents the car from rolling or jerking forward. Then, simply press the accelerator to resume normal driving. 2. Press autohold: This activates the corresponding auto hold function, which keeps the vehicle stationary at red lights or on slopes without the need to continuously press the brake or use the handbrake. 3. After starting the car: Shift into D gear and press the accelerator to start, and the electronic parking brake will automatically release.
