What is the autohold function on a car?
2 Answers
Autohold on a car refers to the automatic parking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it can simplify operations by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. Additional information: Here is an introduction to the autohold function: 1. Time-saving: The autohold function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. When starting the car, 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 and significantly reducing the time wasted on judgment based on experience. 2. Enhanced safety: This function prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on a slope.
As a regular commuter who drives long-term, I find the autohold function particularly practical, especially in our mountainous area. When I stop at a red light or on a slope, after pressing the brake, it automatically maintains the vehicle's position to prevent rolling, and I can just press the accelerator to go. This not only saves me a lot of effort but also reduces driving fatigue, especially in crowded intersections where I need to start and stop repeatedly, eliminating the hassle of pulling the handbrake. I've noticed that it combines the vehicle's sensors to determine the road slope and intelligently adjusts the braking force, making it reliable even on wet roads after rain. After using it, I can focus more on the road conditions, improving safety—it's like having an invisible assistant that's incredibly thoughtful.
