What is the difference between auto start-stop and auto hold?

[MacWyatt]

The difference between auto start-stop and auto hold lies in their functions: The auto start-stop function automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. Auto hold prevents the vehicle from rolling backward. If the vehicle is parked for a certain period, auto hold activates the electronic parking brake to engage rear-wheel braking. When the vehicle is about to move forward, the electronic system detects the throttle input to determine whether to release the brake. Auto start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to proceed. The auto hold system automatically engages the parking brake. When this function is activated, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to manually engage the parking brake, making it particularly useful on slopes and during frequent stops and starts.
