6.10. Automatic brake hold
The Automatic brake hold function maintains the braking force without the driver having to depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or an intersection.
As soon as the driver depresses the accelerator pedal again, the Automatic brake hold function is deactivated and the braking force is released. The operating status of Automatic brake hold can be displayed.
The Automatic brake hold function is not designed to hold the vehicle on a steep hill or slippery road. Never use the Automatic brake hold function when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill or a slippery road. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move.
Warnings may appear to request that the driver retake control by depressing the brake pedal.
When the Automatic brake hold function is activated, but fails to maintain the vehicle at a standstill, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle unexpectedly moves due to the outside conditions, the chime may sound and warnings may appear.
Be sure to deactivate the Automatic brake hold function when using a drive through car wash or towing your vehicle.
