Auto-hold brakes
With the Auto-hold brake function, the driver can
release the brake pedal and the brakes will
remain applied, for example, when the vehicle
has stopped at a traffic light or intersection.
When the vehicle stops, the brakes are activated
automatically. The function can use either the
normal brakes or the parking brakes to keep the
vehicle stationary and works on flat surfaces or
hills. When driving off, the brakes will be automat-
ically released if the driver's seat belt is buckled.
NOTE
When braking to a stop on an uphill or down-
hill gradient, depress the brake pedal with
slightly more force than usual before releas-
ing to ensure that the vehicle cannot move at
all.
The parking brake is activated if:
•
the vehicle is switched off
•
the driver's door is opened
•
the driver's seat belt is removed
•
the vehicle has been stationary for a pro-
longed period of time (5-10 minutes)
