Brakes

Note: In some cases, Auto Hold might hand over to the parking brake. When the parking brake automatically applies, the red brake lamp appears. This is normal. When you press the accelerator pedal, the drive away release feature automatically releases the parking brake. Note: Auto Hold works on all road grades and in reverse (R).

Auto Hold uses your vehicle's brakes to hold your vehicle at a stop once your vehicle has reached a standstill condition. For example, Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at traffic lights or while in traffic jams by holding the brake pressure for you once you bring your vehicle to a stop. Switch Auto Hold off during vehicle or trailer towing. Note: In case of a malfunction in the system while Auto Hold actively holds the vehicle (for example, low power supply), a message appears in the information display asking you to press the brake pedal. If you see this message, press the brake pedal immediately. Note: Auto Hold only activates if the system recognizes it is applying enough brake pressure. On a steep hill or incline, you may need to make sure the brake pedal is pressed sufficiently to activate the Auto Hold system.

Press the Auto Hold button to switch the system on and off. The Auto Hold indicator light illuminates in the Auto Hold button when the system is on. Note: You can only switch Auto Hold on if you close the door and fasten your seatbelt.
