This can help when waiting on a hill or in
traffic.
1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
The auto hold active indicator
illuminates in the information display.
2. Release the brake pedal. The system
holds your vehicle at a standstill. The
auto hold active indicator remains
illuminated in the information display.
3. Apply the accelerator and drive off in
a normal manner. The system releases
the brakes and the auto hold active
indicator switches off.

your vehicle when the system turns on.
