WARNING
The smart technology of the Auto-Hold can-
not overcome the limits imposed by the laws
of physics and it only operates within the lim-
its of the system. Never allow the enhanced
convenience of the Auto-Hold function to in-
duce you to take any risk that compromises
safety.
●
Never leave the vehicle running with the
Auto Hold function switched on.
●
The Auto-Hold cannot always keep the ve-
hicle stopped on an uphill, or brake it suffi-
ciently on a downhill, e.g. on slippery or icy
surfaces.
NOTICE
Always deactivate the Auto-Hold function
before entering an automatic car wash fa-
cility. Failure to do so could cause damage
due to the automatic application of the park-
ing brake.
