STARTING AND DRIVING
Automatic braking when stationary
Automatic brake when stationary (Auto hold)
means that the driver can release the brake
pedal while maintaining braking effect when
the car has stopped at traffic lights or a junc-
tion.

activated automatically. The function can use
either foot brake or parking brake to hold the
car stationary and it works on all gradients.
When driving off, the brakes are released
automatically if the driver is wearing the seat-
belt or the driver's door is closed.

downhill slope, the brake pedal should be
depressed a little harder before being
released to ensure the car does not roll.
