What is the function of the Leiling HOLD button?

HOLD button represents brake hold, this function key works better when combined with the start-stop function key while waiting at traffic lights. The role of the brake hold system and common causes of faults are introduced as follows: The role of the brake hold system: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, it automatically brakes the wheels to prevent rolling. When starting the vehicle, it automatically brakes to prevent rolling. When the vehicle's power is sufficient to move forward, AUTO will automatically release the wheels, allowing the vehicle to proceed. Causes of brake system faults: Severe wear of brake pads, low brake fluid level, brake system oil leakage, and false alarms. Brake pads are divided into two types: with sensor lines and without sensor lines. Those with sensor lines will automatically connect the circuit when the brake pads are severely worn to the limit position, at which point the fault light will illuminate. Low brake fluid level and lack of brake fluid will be accompanied by significantly insufficient braking force, and in severe cases, there may even be a continuous loss of braking force. Brake system oil leakage and false alarms will directly affect the vehicle's technical performance, leading to waste of lubricating oil and fuel, power consumption, affecting the cleanliness of the vehicle, and causing environmental pollution.
The Hold button in the Leiling is specifically designed to prevent rollback, which is especially useful when starting on a slope. Having driven the Leiling for a while in our mountainous city, I find it super practical when stopping at a red light on an uphill. After pressing the brake and then the Hold button, releasing the foot allows the car to automatically maintain braking for two to three seconds, giving me enough time to step on the accelerator and drive off without any rollback. This is much safer than frantically pulling the handbrake or quickly engaging the clutch and accelerator, particularly in rainy conditions or heavy traffic, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. I think Toyota's inclusion of this feature is very thoughtful, especially for novice drivers, as it makes driving more reassuring. The operation is simple too—the button is conveniently located near the steering wheel, and pressing it lights up an indicator on the dashboard to show it's activated. Just remember to use it only when starting on a slope; don't press it unnecessarily on flat ground. Overall, the Hold button is a small but highly efficient tool that enhances driving safety.
