Once connected, the Auto Hold function as-
sists the driver in keeping the vehicle station-
ary at repeated intervals or for a certain peri-
od of time with the engine running, for exam-

traffic lights or in heavy traffic with intermit-

when stationary without pressing the brake
pedal.

and the brake pedal has been released, the

If the vehicle is stationary and one of the con-
ditions required by the Auto Hold function is
impaired, it disconnects itself and the button's
control light goes out
