What does vehicle auto hold mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example when stopping at a traffic light, it is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. The auto hold function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as clutch distance, clutch engagement speed, and throttle pedal position. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
