Auto Hold applies the brakes to hold your vehicle after you stop it and release the brake pedal. This can help when waiting on a hill or in traffic.
|
Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. |

WARNING: You must remain in your vehicle when the system turns on. At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required.You can switch the system on or off by accessing the menu in the SYNC display screen.
Note: You can only switch the system on after you close the driver door, and fasten your seatbelt.
Note: The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle.
