Brake Hold

The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in
D, N, or S (except 2WD models with paddle shift switches) or M (2WD
models with paddle shift switches) with the system on and the brake
pedal has been depressed to stop the vehicle. The system releases the
brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D,
S or M to allow smooth start off.

operated indicator (yellow) comes on.
