STARTING AND DRIVING
Auto-hold brakes
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver
can release the brake pedal and the brakes
will remain applied, for example, when the
vehicle has stopped at a traffic light or inter-
section.
When the vehicle stops, the brakes are acti-
vated automatically. The function can use
either the normal brakes or the parking brakes
to keep the vehicle stationary and works on
flat surfaces or hills. If the driver has their seat
belt fastened and/or if the driver's door is
closed, the brakes will disengage automati-
cally when the vehicle starts driving.
NOTE
When braking to a stop on an uphill or
downhill gradient, depress the brake pedal
with slightly more force than usual before
releasing to ensure that the vehicle cannot
move at all.
The parking brake is activated if
the vehicle is switched off.
