brake pedal or selector lever position P is
set and then push.
This process may take a few seconds. Some
mechanical sounds associated with this proc-
ess are normal.

Automatic Hold
Principle
Automatic Hold assists the driver by automati-
cally setting and releasing the brake, such as
when moving in stop-and-go traffic.
The vehicle is automatically held in place when
it is stationary.
On uphill grades the system prevents the vehi-
cle from rolling back when driving off.
General information
The parking brake is automatically engaged
under the following conditions:
▷ Drive-ready state is switched off.
▷ The driver's door is open for more than one
second and no pedal is pressed during this
time.
▷ The moving vehicle is brought to a stand-
still using the parking brake.
Safety information
Warning
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
