What does the hold button on the Corolla mean?

The hold button on the Corolla refers to the automatic parking function, which is used when going uphill or downhill or when frequently starting and stopping. The Corolla is a 4-door, 5-seat compact car under FAW Toyota. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, and curb weight 1335kg. The 2021 Corolla is equipped with a 1.2L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 85ps, a maximum power of 85kw, and a maximum power speed of 5200 to 5600 rpm per minute.
When I first drove my Corolla, I was also curious about the hold button. It wasn't until I asked a friend that I learned it's an automatic braking function. It's incredibly useful at red lights or in traffic jams. For example, after you brake to a complete stop, pressing the hold button automatically locks the wheels, so you don't have to keep your foot on the brake pedal. This allows your foot to relax for a while, reducing fatigue during long drives. When starting off, a gentle press on the accelerator automatically releases it, making it particularly safe, especially on slopes where it prevents rolling back. I think all modern cars should come with this feature. The Corolla's design is really thoughtful, and it even has an eco mode to complement it for fuel efficiency. Just remember not to accidentally press it while driving, and in complex road conditions, using the manual parking brake is more reliable.
