What does AVH Auto Hold mean?
2 Answers
AVH Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the frequent switching between D to N or D to P. Below are specific details about Auto Hold: 1. It simplifies operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on slopes. 3. The Auto Hold function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking speed control through the controller.
AVH (Auto Vehicle Hold), simply put, means when your car comes to a stop, it automatically applies the brakes to keep the vehicle stationary, so you don't have to keep your foot on the brake pedal. I once tried it at a congested intersection—stopped at a red light, took my foot off, and the car stayed perfectly still without any rolling. It felt incredibly convenient. This feature is super practical in urban settings, like at traffic lights or in heavy traffic, significantly reducing driving fatigue and allowing you to focus more on driving. Just remember to activate it first with the button, usually located near the center console. Nowadays, many new cars come with it as standard, making driving on highways or slopes much safer.
