Automatic Hold
Principle
Automatic Hold assists the driver by automati-
cally setting and releasing the brake, such as
when moving in stop-and-go traffic.
The vehicle is automatically held in place when
it is stationary.
On uphill grades the system prevents the vehi-
cle from rolling back when driving off.
General information
The parking brake is automatically engaged
under the following conditions:
▷ Drive-ready state is switched off.
▷ The driver's door is opened while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
▷ The moving vehicle is brought to a stand-
still using the parking brake.
Safety information
Warning
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured
against rolling away, follow the following:
▷
Set the parking brake.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
turn the front wheels in the direction of
the curb.
▷ On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,
also secure the vehicle, for instance with
a wheel chock.
Warning
Unattended children or animals in the vehicle
can cause the vehicle to move and endanger
themselves and traffic, for instance due to the
following actions:
▷ Pressing the Start/Stop button.
