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.
When a gear position is engaged, the vehicle
is automatically held in place when it is station-
ary.
On uphill grades the system prevents the vehi-
cle from rolling back when driving off.

▷
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.
▷

still using the parking brake.
