What is the function of Auto Hold?

[ZaneMarie]

Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, there is no need to pull the handbrake when stopping at traffic lights, simplifying the operation 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 gear and N gear or D gear and P gear. The Auto Hold function does not use additional components; it still utilizes the same braking mechanism that executes the brake pedal commands. When the ESP control system detects that the vehicle has come to a complete stop, the electronic parking function is activated, replacing the foot brake. If the vehicle remains stationary for a certain period after the electronic parking is engaged, the control system will automatically activate the electronic parking brake, releasing the Auto Hold function.
