Autohold" Function - Renault Arcana User Manual

"AUTOHOLD" FUNCTION

Vehicle stopped (e.g. at a red light, an

the driver releases the brake pedal.
The braking force is released as soon
as the driver accelerates sufficiently
with a gear engaged.

multaneously.

vated.

or
– the vehicle is immobilised for more
than approximately three minutes.
