HOLD function
▌Notes on the HOLD function
Requirement
The seat occupancy recognition on the driver's
seat has detected that the driver has fastened their
seat belt.
Function
The HOLD function holds the vehicle at a standstill
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 accelera-
tor pedal to pull away, the braking effect is can-
celed and the HOLD function is deactivated.
The HOLD function is only an aid. The responsibil-
ity for the vehicle safely standing still remains with
the driver.
