When the "Hold" function is activated, the transmission will hold the current gear even if the engine speed increases or decreases. This can help to prevent the transmission from shifting up or down at inopportune moments, which can affect the performance and efficiency of the vehicle.
To activate the "Hold" function in a Mazda Familia, there is usually a dedicated button or switch on the gear selector or center console. Once the button is pressed, the "Hold" indicator light on the instrument cluster will illuminate, indicating that the function is active. To deactivate the "Hold" function, simply press the button again.
It's important to note that the "Hold" function is not a replacement for manual shifting, and it should be used only in specific situations where maintaining a particular gear ratio is beneficial. In general, allowing the automatic gearbox to shift gears normally will provide the best overall performance and fuel economy.
