The HOLD function is only available for vehicles
with automatic transmission.
The HOLD function holds the vehicle at a stand‐
still without requiring you to depress the brake
pedal, e.g. when pulling away on steep slopes or
when waiting in traffic. When you depress the
accelerator pedal to pull away, the braking effect
is cancelled and the HOLD function is deactiva‐
ted.
