What does it mean when the dashboard 'A' light is on?

The dashboard 'A' with a circle illuminated indicates that the automatic parking system is activated. When this switch is turned on, the vehicle will not continue to move after being braked to a stop, even if the brake pedal is released. It will only resume movement when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. To deactivate this function, the button can be pressed manually. Introduction to Automatic Parking: Automatic parking, also known as AUTO-HOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent switching between D to N or D to P. How Automatic Parking Works: The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and accelerator pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
