What does autohold mean in a car?
1 Answers
Autohold in a car refers to the automatic parking system, which can adjust the optimal driving state according to different road conditions. It effectively prevents frequent gear shifts in poor road conditions and serves as a forced downshift during overtaking. When the hold button is pressed in D gear, the transmission will remain in second, third, or fourth gear. Autohold is a technical application that enables the automatic handbrake function while the car is in motion. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary coasting when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged, making it particularly useful for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starts and stops.
