What does car HOLD mean?

[VonHarrison]

HOLD is a gear lock function. More information about HOLD is as follows: 1. The car HOLD button adjusts the optimal driving state according to different road conditions, effectively preventing the transmission from frequently shifting gears on different road surfaces, and plays the role of forced downshifting (not upshifting) when overtaking. 2. Using this button will not damage the transmission. When pressing the HOLD button in D gear, the transmission will remain in second, third, or fourth gear (mainly fourth gear); when pressing the HOLD button in third gear, it will remain in second or third gear (mainly third gear); when pressing the HOLD button in second gear, it will remain in second gear; when pressing the HOLD button in first gear, it will remain in fixed first gear.

The term 'car hold' refers to a feature on vehicles, also known as Auto Hold. When the button is pressed, the car automatically maintains the brake state after stopping, preventing it from moving forward or backward. This is particularly useful in traffic jams or when waiting on slopes, eliminating the need to continuously press the brake pedal. Based on my years of driving experience, activating this feature in urban areas with frequent traffic lights makes driving much more relaxed. To start moving, you only need to lightly tap the accelerator. Behind the scenes, an electronic control system is at work. The location of this feature may vary across different car models, with some positioned near the steering wheel and others in the central control area. Remember to enable it on slippery roads to effectively prevent rollaway accidents, but only after the car has come to a complete stop.

The term 'car hold' usually refers to the Auto Hold function, which is integrated with the vehicle's electronic stability system. When you brake to a stop, the system automatically locks the brakes until you press the accelerator again. As someone familiar with car maintenance, I often see this feature providing convenience in traffic jams or on slopes, but the sensors are prone to malfunction due to dust. It's recommended to clean them regularly to ensure proper operation. Compared to the handbrake in manual transmission cars, the automatic version is more intelligent and reliable. When operating, make sure the car is completely stopped, otherwise it may cause shaking or malfunction. Overall, this is a practical design that enhances driving safety.

The car hold function automatically maintains the parked state of the vehicle. With a press of the button, the car stays still, allowing my foot to rest during stops. I didn't know about this when I first started driving, but after learning it, waiting at red lights became much easier. Especially in urban traffic congestion, there's no need to keep pressing the brake pedal anymore. My car has this feature; look for a button labeled HOLD or Auto Hold and give it a try, but make sure to practice on flat ground first to ensure safety.
