What is the autohold button in a car?
2 Answers
autohold is the function button for automatic parking. Below is an introduction to automatic parking: 1. Introduction to automatic parking: Automatic parking, also known as 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 the operation by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. 2. Braking system of automatic parking: Automatic parking relies on an intelligent braking system. The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides accurate parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information provided by the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force exceeds the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
Once during a highway traffic jam, I discovered the magical effect of the autohold function. Pressing this button activates the automatic parking system. Simply put, when the vehicle stops, it automatically applies the brakes for you, so you don't have to keep your foot on the brake pedal. When you're ready to go, a light tap on the accelerator automatically releases the brakes, which is especially effortless. For us office workers who deal with city traffic lights every day, this feature means no more foot numbness. Moreover, it prevents rollback on steep slopes and works even better in combination with auto start-stop. I recommend turning it on right after starting the car; once you get used to it, you'll find it super convenient. This feature is basically standard on both Japanese and German cars.
