What does AutoHold in a car mean?
2 Answers
AutoHold in a car refers to the automatic parking function, which allows the driver to avoid unnecessary vehicle sliding without the need for prolonged braking or engaging the electronic parking brake. Simply press the AutoHold button to activate the automatic parking function. To deactivate AutoHold, just lightly tap the accelerator. The automatic parking function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. When starting the car, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and accelerator pedal position. It automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the rolling resistance, ensuring a smooth start and significantly reducing the time wasted on judgment based on experience.
I've been driving manual transmission cars for years, and recently got a new car with AutoHold - this thing is so convenient! AutoHold is the automatic parking system. When you stop at a red light while driving, you don't need to keep pressing the brake pedal as it automatically maintains the braking state for you. The principle is that sensors detect when the vehicle is stationary, then activate the electronic parking brake to lock the wheels. I love using it most during rush hour traffic jams - it frees up my feet during frequent red lights, reducing leg fatigue. Operation is simple, just press the activation button. When starting off, pressing the accelerator automatically releases it - super smooth. It also enhances safety by preventing rollaway accidents, especially providing stability during hill starts. After using it for a few months, I've gotten so accustomed to it that I don't even want to turn it off - perfect for urban commuters.
