Auto-hold brakes
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver
can release the brake pedal and the brakes
will remain applied, for example, when the
vehicle has stopped at a traffic light or inter-
section.
When the vehicle stops, the brakes are acti-
vated automatically. The function can use
either the normal brakes or the parking brakes
to keep the vehicle stationary and works on
flat surfaces or hills. If the driver has their seat
belt fastened or if the driver's door is closed,
the brakes will disengage automatically when
the vehicle starts driving.
NOTE
When braking to a stop on an uphill or
downhill gradient, depress the brake pedal
with slightly more force than usual before
releasing to ensure that the vehicle cannot
move at all.
The parking brake is activated if
•
the vehicle is switched off
•
the driver's door is opened
•
the driver's seat belt is removed
•
the vehicle has been stationary for a pro-
longed period of time (5-10 minutes)
