What does the 'hold' function in a car mean in Chinese?
1 Answers
The 'hold' function in a car translates to 'maintain' in Chinese. When this button is pressed, the automatic transmission enters hold mode, and the hold mode indicator light on the dashboard illuminates. The hold button adjusts the driving state according to different road conditions, effectively preventing the transmission from frequently shifting gears. It serves to force downshifting without upshifting during overtaking. When starting on snowy roads, using second gear instead of first gear provides a smoother start. By placing the gear lever in position 2 and pressing the hold button, the transmission maintains a gear ratio in second gear for a more stable start. When driving through continuous curves, the automatic transmission in normal mode may frequently shift gears due to the driver's control of the accelerator pedal.
