WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Auto Hol
d function cannot defy the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits 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 leave the vehicle running and with
the Auto Hold function switched on.
●
The Auto Hol
d function cannot always keep
the vehicle stationary uphill or downhill or
stop it sufficiently, for example, on slippery
or frozen surfaces.
Note
Before entering a car wash, always switch off
the Aut
o Hol
d function, because if the elec-
tronic parking brake is automatically connec-
ted, it may cause damage.
