Auto hold

HOW DOES AUTO HOLD WORK

Auto hold applies the brakes to hold your vehicle after you bring the vehicle to a stop. This can help when waiting on a hill or in traffic.

SWITCHING AUTO HOLD ON AND OFF

WARNING:  The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle, always apply the parking brake.    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. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.    WARNING:  The system will turn off if a malfunction is apparent. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

Press the button on the center console to switch the system on and off. The indicator light illuminates when the system is on.

Note:   You can only switch the system on after you close the driver door.

Note:   The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle.

Note:   When using an automatic car wash, make sure to switch auto hold off, or shift to neutral (N) with the brake pedal applied to ensure auto hold is not active.

USING AUTO HOLD

1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop. The auto hold active indicator illuminates in the information display.

1. Release the brake pedal. The system holds your vehicle at a standstill. The auto hold active indicator remains illuminated in the information display.

1. Apply the accelerator and drive off in a normal manner. The system releases the brakes and the auto hold active indicator switches off.

Note:   The system only activates if you apply enough brake pressure on the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a standstill.

Note:   Under certain conditions, the system could apply the electric parking brake. The brake system warning lamp illuminates. The electric parking brake releases when you press the accelerator pedal.   See   Automatically Releasing the Electric Parking Brake. 

Note:   The system switches off if you shift into reverse (R) or neutral (N) while pressing the brake pedal.

There could be actions that can cause the auto hold system not to work when the following occur:

• When you use active park assist.
• Your vehicle is in stay in neutral mode.
• The driver door is open.
• You shift into reverse (R) or neutral (N) before the system is active.
