What does the car brakehold mean?
2 Answers
Car brakehold refers to the activation button for the auto hold function. The functions of auto hold are: 1. The driver does not need to brake for a long time, and it can prevent unnecessary sliding of the vehicle when the electronic parking brake is activated; 2. The vehicle will not roll back when starting on a slope, avoiding the need for the driver to rely on experience and use the hand brake to start on an incline. Precautions for using auto hold are: 1. Auto hold can only operate normally when the seat belt is fastened and the door is closed; 2. When parking, simply pull the hand brake, shift to P gear, and lock the car, without worrying about whether auto hold is activated; 3. The auto hold function on an uphill slope has a limited time, usually 2 seconds, and it is necessary to apply throttle in time after releasing the brake pedal to avoid the danger of rolling back.
I've always found the brake hold function incredibly convenient, especially in traffic jams or at red lights where I no longer need to keep my foot on the brake pedal for extended periods. It automatically keeps the car stationary for me, and a light tap on the accelerator gets me moving again. For instance, on my daily commute through the city with frequent red lights, my foot used to ache from constant braking. Now, my feet are completely free, making driving feel much more relaxed. This feature not only reduces fatigue but also prevents accidental rolling back when starting on a slope—just thinking about it gives me a sense of security. I highly recommend everyone try this function. It's simple to set up, just press a button on the car's central control screen, and it's truly an essential tool for urban driving.
