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

[McCourtney]

Auto start-stop and autohold differ in their functions and purposes. Below is an introduction to the differences between auto start-stop and autohold: Different functions: Auto start-stop is a system that controls the engine's start and stop, while autohold is an automatic parking function that automatically engages the handbrake. Different purposes: Auto start-stop: When the driver presses the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop, the engine temporarily shuts off. When the driver releases the brake pedal, the engine restarts. Its primary purpose is to save fuel. Autohold: After the vehicle stops by pressing the brake, it actively holds the brake for the driver, eliminating the need for the driver to keep their foot on the brake pedal. To start the vehicle again, the driver only needs to gently press the accelerator pedal. However, this operation can be challenging for many novice drivers, as they may sometimes press the accelerator too hard during startup, leading to a rear-end collision.
