What does the 'hold' indicator on the car dashboard mean?

[Chris]

The 'hold' on the car refers to the auto-hold function. The introduction and working principle of the auto-hold function are as follows. Introduction to auto-hold: Auto-hold is an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, you don't need to pull the handbrake, avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic handbrake to simplify operations. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. Working principle of auto-hold: The auto-hold function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by a controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, it automatically releases the parking brake, allowing the car to start smoothly.
