Automatic braking at a standstill (Hold)

With the automatic braking at a standstill function (Hold), the driver can release the brake pedal and the brakes will remain applied, for example, when the vehicle has stopped at a traffic light.

Activating braking at a standstill (Hold)

The function is activated automatically at a standstill if gear position D or R is selected and
  • One Pedal Drive is activated
  • the vehicle is at risk of starting to roll.
or
  • One Pedal Drive is deactivated
  • the vehicle is already stationary and the brake pedal is fully depressed and then released.

Deactivating Hold

The function is released when the driver presses the accelerator pedal with a gear position selected.

 Note

Auto-hold brakes are also deactivated when the driver moves the gear selector to Neutral position.
The parking brake is applied automatically
  • if the vehicle is switched off
  • if the driver removes their seat belt and/or opens the driver's door.
  • if the function is active and the vehicle has been stationary for a long period of time (about 5-10 minutes).

Automatic braking at a standstill (Hold) can also switch over to the parking brake in other situations.
