What does the A button in a car mean?

[ElizaAnn]

The 'A' on a car stands for the auto-hold function of the vehicle. Vehicles equipped with an electronic parking brake usually come with the auto-hold function, which is not enabled by default and requires the driver to manually activate it. Once the auto-hold function is activated, it eliminates the need for frequent operation of the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and for automatic transmission models, it avoids the frequent switching between D to N and D to P. More details are as follows: 1. When the vehicle brakes during driving and comes to a complete stop, even if the brake pedal is released, the vehicle may not continue to move. It will only proceed forward when the accelerator pedal is pressed again. 2. The English name for auto-hold is AUTO-HOLD, and this button is typically located next to the electronic parking brake.
