Using Auto Hold

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

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

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: While Auto Hold is applying the brakes, if you shift into reverse (R) or neutral (N) with your foot on the brake pedal, Auto Hold will release the brake. However, while Auto Hold is applying the brakes, if you shift into reverse (R) without your foot on the brake pedal, Auto Hold will continue to apply the brakes. In this case, the driver pressing the brake pedal will cause Auto Hold to release the brake.

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.
