HOW DOES AUTO HOLD WORK
Auto hold applies the brakes to hold your
vehicle after you bring the vehicle to a stop.
This can help when waiting on a hill or in
traffic.
SWITCHING AUTO HOLD ON
AND OFF
WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake.
WARNING: You must remain in
your vehicle when the system turns on.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
You can switch the system on or off by

make sure to switch auto hold off, or shift
to neutral (N) with the brake pedal applied
