When the vehicle is no longer moving forward, Auto-hold applies the brakes automatically, either using the normal brakes or the parking brake. The brakes will be released when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
If the driver's door is opened or the engine is turned off, the parking brake will be applied automatically.
Auto-hold is deactivated when the transmission is in neutral or if the driver's door is open and the seat belt is unbuckled.
Auto-hold control
Turn Auto-hold on or off by pressing the control in the tunnel console. The indicator light illuminates when the function is on.
When Auto-hold is off, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will be activated to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting up a hill.
