Auto Hold

Auto Hold maintains the vehicle in a standstill even though the brake pedal is not pressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal.

To apply:

2C_AutoHoldButtonOn

  1. With the driver's door, bonnet, and tailgate closed press the brake pedal and then press the AUTO HOLD switch. The white N indicator comes on and the system is in standby.

    2C_AutoHoldButtonOn_1

    1. White
    2. Green

  2. When you stop the vehicle completely by pressing the brake pedal, Auto Hold maintains the brake pressure to hold the vehicle stationary. The indicator changes from white to green.

    The vehicle remains stationary even if you release the brake pedal.

To release:

  • If you press the accelerator pedal with the gear in D (Drive), R (Reverse), or Manual shift mode, the Auto Hold is released automatically and the vehicle starts to move. The N indicator changes from green to white.

Always look around your vehicle before pressing the accelerator pedal to release Auto Hold.

To cancel:

2C_AutoHoldButtonOff

  1. Press and hold the brake pedal.

  2. Press the AUTO HOLD switch.

    The N indicator will turn off.

To prevent unintended vehicle movement, always press your foot on the brake pedal to cancel the Auto Hold before you:

  • Drive downhill.

  • Drive the vehicle in R (Reverse).

  • Park the vehicle.

  • The Auto Hold does not operate when:

    • The driver's door or bonnet are open.

    • The tailgate is open.

    • The gear is in P (Park).

    • EPB is applied.

  • The Auto Hold automatically switches to EPB when:

    • The driver's door or bonnet is opened.

    • The vehicle is in a standstill for more than 10 minutes.

    • The vehicle is standing on a steep slope.

    • The vehicle moved several times.

    • The tailgate is opened.

    In these cases, the Parking Brake warning light comes on, the N indicator changes from green to white, and a warning sounds and a message appears to inform you that EPB has been automatically engaged. Before driving, press the brake pedal, check the surrounding area, and release the parking brake manually with the EPB switch.

If the N indicator changes to yellow, or the driver's door, bonnet, or tailgate open detection system malfunctions, Auto Hold does not work properly. We recommend that you contact an authorised Genesis repairer.
