Brake functions
The vehicle's standard braking features are aug-
mented by a number of auxiliary help functions.
In addition to the wheel brakes and the parking
brake, the vehicle is equipped with several auto-
matic brake assist functions. These systems help
the driver by e.g., keeping the vehicle stationary
when the brake pedal is not depressed (at a traf-
fic light or intersection), when starting up a hill or
when driving down a hill.
These systems include:
•
Auto-hold brakes
•
Hill Start Assist
•
Braking assist after a collision
•
Hill Descent Control

Auto-hold brake function
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 intersection.
When the vehicle is no longer moving forward,
Auto-hold applies the brakes automatically, either
using the normal brakes or the parking brake.
The brakes will be released when the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
If the driver's door is opened or the engine is
turned off, the parking brake will be applied auto-
matically.
Auto-hold control
Auto-hold control and indicator light
Turn Auto-hold on or off by pressing the control

nates when the function is on.
