STARTING AND DRIVING
Automatic braking when stationary
Automatic braking when stationary (Auto hold)
means that the driver can release the brake
pedal while maintaining braking effect when the
car has stopped at traffic lights or a junction.
When the car has stopped, the brakes are acti-
vated automatically. The function can use either
foot brake or parking brake to hold the car sta-
tionary and it works on all gradients. When driving
away, the brakes disengage automatically if the
driver is wearing the seatbelt.
NOTE
When braking to a standstill on an uphill or
downhill slope, the brake pedal should be
depressed a little harder before being
released to ensure the car does not roll.
The parking brake is activated if:
•
the car is switched off
•
the driver's door is opened
•
the driver's seatbelt is unbuckled
•
the car has been stationary for a longer time
(5-10 minutes).
