STARTING & DRIVING
Auto Hold
*
When auto hold stops the vehicle, for reasons
such as engine shut-down, releasing the
seat belt or pressing the auto hold switch,
the electronic parking brake is applied. It
cannot be guaranteed that the vehicle will
be stabilised in all cases. For example, the
rear wheels are on a slippery road surface,
or the vehicle incline is too great (larger than
20%). Please make sure that the vehicle is
safely stabilised prior to exiting.
DO NOT take any extra risks when driving
due to the fact the vehicle is fitted with
additional convenience functions. The driver
should pay full attention and observe the
surroundings even if the vehicle is equipped
with auto hold system.
The auto hold function cannot guarantee the
stability of the vehicle when starting off or
braking on hills especially on slippery or icy
surfaces.
DO NOT leave the vehicle when the engine
is operating and the auto hold is active.
Auto hold cannot guarantee the electronic
parking brake operation in all cases where
the power system is shut down. Please ensure
the electronic parking brake is applied and
the vehicle is stabilised prior to exiting the
vehicle.
The auto hold function should be switched off
during the use of automatic car washes, the
electronic parking brake may suddenly apply
and cause vehicle damage.
If the vehicle is required to stop frequently for a length
of time (such as traffic lights, traffic queues or stop/start),
and the engine is running, the auto hold system assists in
stabilising the vehicle, enabling you to remove your foot
from the brake pedal when the vehicle is stationary and
the Auto Hold active.
Auto hold has 3 main states:
1 Off: Function in Off state.
