WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the Auto Hold function cannot defy the
l
aws of physics; it only works within the lim-
its of the system. The greater convenience
provided by the Auto Hold function should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety.
●
Never l
eave the vehicle running and with
the Auto Hold function switched on.
●
The Auto Hold function cannot always
keep the vehicle stationary uphill or down-
hill or stop it sufficiently, for example, on
slippery or frozen surfaces.
Note
Before entering a car wash, always switch
off the Aut
o Hold function, because if the
el
ectronic parking brake is automatically
connected, it may cause damage.
