Automatic Brake Hold
Keeps the brake applied after releasing the brake pedal until the accelerator
pedal is pressed. You can use this system while the vehicle is temporarily
stopped, like at traffic lights and in heavy traffic.

automatic brake hold button. The automatic brake hold system indicator
comes on. The system is turned on.
2. With the transmission in Drive (D) or Neutral (N), press the brake pedal
and come to a complete stop. The HOLD indicator appears, and brake
hold is applied. Release the brake pedal.
3. Press the BRAKE HOLD button behind the gear selector. The BRAKE
HOLD indicator appears in the instrument panel.
Press the accelerator pedal to cancel brake hold and start moving.

Press the brake pedal and press the BRAKE HOLD

Automatic brake hold cancels when:
• Braking is applied for more than 10 minutes.
• The electric parking brake is engaged.
• The foot brake is pressed and the transmission is put in Park or Reverse.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• The engine stalls or is turned off.
• There is a problem with the automatic brake hold system.
Activating the automatic brake hold system on steep hills or slippery
roads may still allow the vehicle to move if you remove your foot from the
brake pedal. Using the automatic brake hold system to park the vehicle
may result in the vehicle unexpectedly moving. If a vehicle unexpectedly
moves, it may cause a crash resulting in serious injury or death. Never
