What does 'hold' mean on a car?
1 Answers
Hold on a car refers to the automatic parking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, there is no need to pull the handbrake. It simplifies the operation by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and automatic transmission models do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. How automatic parking works: The automatic parking function provides accurate parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information provided by sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly. The role of automatic parking: Drivers do not need to brake for a long time. When the electronic parking brake is activated, it prevents unnecessary sliding of the vehicle; ensures the vehicle does not roll back when starting on a slope, eliminating the need to rely on the driver's experience with the handbrake. Precautions for using automatic parking: The automatic parking function operates normally only when the seatbelt is fastened and the door is closed; when parking, simply pull the handbrake, shift to P, and lock the car without worrying about whether automatic parking is enabled; automatic parking on an uphill slope has a limited time, usually two seconds, and the driver must promptly apply throttle after releasing the brake pedal to avoid the risk of rolling back.
