2018 MKC Owner's Manual

Brakes

Using Auto Hold 1. Bring your vehicle to a stop by pressing the brake pedal. After coming to a stop, the green Auto Hold (ACTIVE) indicator lamp illuminates in the information display. 2. Release the brake pedal. The Auto Hold (ACTIVE) indicator light remains illuminated in the information display and Auto Hold will hold your vehicle at a stop. 3. When you press the accelerator pedal, Auto Hold releases the brakes and you will be able to drive off. Once you drive off, the green Auto Hold (ACTIVE) indicator no longer illuminates in the information display. Note: The Stop/Start system (if equipped) may stop the engine when you press the brake pedal. If this occurs, it will restart once you press the accelerator pedal. Auto Hold still holds your vehicle at a standstill with the engine off.

Note: Auto Hold turns off every time you power down your vehicle. When Auto Hold is off, your vehicle behaves the same as a vehicle without Auto Hold. There is an Auto Hold indicator lamp in the instrument cluster that has two modes, active and unavailable:

The Auto Hold (ACTIVE) indicator light illuminates in the information display when the system holds

your vehicle stationary. When in active mode, press the brake pedal and the Auto Hold button to switch Auto Hold off.

The Auto Hold (UNAVAILABLE) indicator light illuminates in the information display when the

system is on but unavailable to hold your vehicle (for example, during Active Park Assist, Stay in Neutral Mode, or when you do not fasten your seatbelt or close the door). Note: Make sure you switch off Auto Hold or use the Stay in Neutral mode before you enter a car wash. See Automatic Transmission (page 175).
