What is the autoh function?

autoh refers to the Auto Hold function. The application of Auto Hold technology allows drivers to avoid unnecessary vehicle sliding without the need for prolonged braking or activating the electronic parking brake. Below is an introduction to the Auto Hold function: 1. Prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a slope: Traditional parking brake devices require the driver to manually release the handbrake based on experience when starting on a slope. The AUTOH Auto Hold function, however, uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, enabling smooth vehicle startup. 2. Automatically activates four-wheel braking when waiting at a red light: To use it, simply press the "AUTOH" button lightly to activate the corresponding Auto Hold function. The intelligent AUTOH Auto Hold function automatically engages four-wheel braking when the vehicle is stopped at a red light or on a slope, keeping the vehicle stationary even in D or N gear without the need to continuously press the brake pedal or use the handbrake. To release the stationary state, simply lightly press the accelerator pedal to disengage the brake. This function is particularly practical for drivers frequently navigating stop-and-go city traffic and is also favored by those who often experience vehicle rollback.
Last time I drove my friend's new car, I discovered the autohold function—it's a total game-changer for red lights! After firmly pressing the brake, the system automatically engages the handbrake, keeping the car perfectly still even when you take your foot off the pedal. A light tap on the accelerator at a green light releases it automatically, and no more worries about rolling back on slopes. It's a lifesaver for someone like me stuck in daily traffic—finally giving my right foot a break. Just remember not to activate it while reversing, as it can make maneuvering awkward. Also, note that some older models may see increased fuel consumption with this feature.
