AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD
(where fitted)
The automatic brake hold function maintains the
braking force without the driver having to depress
the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped (for
example, at a set of traffic lights or intersection). As
soon as the driver depresses the accelerator pedal
again with the vehicle in gear, the automatic brake
hold function is deactivated and the braking force is
released. The operating status of the automatic
brake hold can be displayed on the Vehicle Informa-
tion Display.
Make sure to place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position and apply the parking brake (Auto-
matic (DCT) Transmission models) or apply the
parking brake (Manual Transmission model)
when parking your vehicle or loading luggage.
Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to
move or roll away unexpectedly and result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
