Automatic Hold
Principle
Automatic Hold provides assistance by auto-
matically applying and releasing the brake, for
example in stop-and-go traffic.
When a drive position is engaged, the vehicle
is automatically held in place at standstill.
On upward gradients, it prevents the vehicle
from rolling back when driving off.
General
The parking brake is released automatically
when the following conditions are met:
▷ Drive-ready state is switched off.
▷ If the driver's door is open for more than
one second and no pedal is pressed during
this time.
▷ If the moving vehicle is brought to a stand-
still with the parking brake.
In selector lever position N, Automatic Hold is
temporarily deactivated.
