"Autohold" function

Vehicle stopped (e.g. at a red light, an intersection, a traffic jam, etc.), the function ensures braking force even when the driver releases the brake pedal.
The braking force is released as soon as the driver accelerates sufficiently with a gear engaged.

Activation

Press the switch 2.
The indicator light 1 on the switch 2 lights up to confirm that the function is activated.

Deactivation

Press the brake pedal and switch 2 simultaneously.
The indicator light 1 on switch 2 disappears to confirm that the function is deactivated.
If the braking force is maintained, the parking brake is applied automatically when:
  • the driver exits the vehicle;
or
  • the vehicle is immobilised for more than approximately three minutes.

Conditions for maintaining the braking force

The following conditions must be met:
  • the driver's seat belt is fastened;
and
  • the electronic parking brake is released;
and
  • the vehicle is not stationary on a very steep slope.
The maintained braking force is confirmed by the warning light on the instrument panel.

Conditions for interrupting the braking force

The following conditions must be met:
  • the driver accelerates sufficiently with a gear engaged;
or
  • the driver disables the function.
Warning light goes out on the instrument panel.
Tip
Upon each start-up, the function continues the mode set at the time the engine was last switched off.
