Auto Hold

Auto Hold keeps the vehicle stationary even if the brake pedal is not depressed, after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing the brake pedal.

To apply:

1. With the driver's door closed and the engine hood closed, press the AUTO HOLD switch. The white AUTO HOLD indicator will illuminate and the system will be in standby mode.

2. When you fully stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, Auto Hold maintains brake pressure to keep the vehicle stationary. The indicator changes from white to green.

3. The vehicle will remain stationary even if you release the brake pedal.

4. If the EPB is applied, Auto Hold will be released.

To release:

• If you press the accelerator pedal with the shift lever in D (Drive) or manual shift mode, or R (Reverse) (for vehicles equipped with the Shift-by-Wire button), Auto Hold will be released automatically and the vehicle will start moving. The AUTO HOLD indicator changes color from green to white.
• If the vehicle is restarted using the +/- switch while Auto Hold and Smart Cruise Control highway driving assist are operating, Auto Hold will be released regardless of accelerator pedal operation. The AUTO HOLD indicator changes from green to white.

WARNING

When Auto Hold is automatically released by pressing the accelerator pedal, always check your surroundings around the vehicle.

Depress the accelerator pedal slowly for a smooth start.

To cancel:

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Press the AUTO HOLD switch.

The AUTO HOLD indicator will turn off.

WARNING

To prevent unexpected and sudden vehicle movement, ALWAYS keep your foot on the brake pedal to cancel Auto Hold before:

- Driving down a slope.
- Driving the vehicle in R (Reverse). (vehicle with shift lever)
- Parking the vehicle.

Information

• Auto Hold does not operate when:

- Driver's door is open
- Engine hood is open
- Shift lever is in P (Park)

In these cases, the parking brake warning light illuminates, the AUTO HOLD indicator changes from green to white, a warning sound is heard, and a message appears indicating that the EPB has been applied automatically. Before moving off again, press the brake pedal, check the area around the vehicle, and manually release the parking brake using the EPB switch.

• You may hear a mechanical noise while Auto Hold is operating. This is a normal operating noise.
