The system performs automatic and audi-
ble checks sporadically in the parked vehicle
if some time elapses without the electronic
parking brake being used.
Auto Hold function

standstill and prevents it from moving without
it being necessary to depress the brake pedal.

function is not activated or, if activated, it de-
activates. Therefore, the vehicle will not be
safely held ››› .

WARNING
The smart technology of the Auto Hold can-
not overcome the limits imposed by the laws
of physics and it only operates within the lim-
its of the system. Never allow the enhanced
convenience of the Auto Hold function to in-
duce you to take any risk that compromises
safety.
●
If the vehicle has to be immobilised, make
sure that the control lamp is lit up in
green or in red on the instrument cluster.
If the control lamp is green, the Auto Hold
function holds the vehicle; when it is red, the
electronic parking brake holds the vehicle.
●
Never leave the vehicle with the drive sys-
tem on and the Auto Hold function activated
for any reason.
●
The Auto Hold function cannot always keep
the vehicle stopped on an uphill, or brake it
suiciently on a downhill, e.g. on slippery or
icy surfaces.
NOTICE
Always deactivate the Auto Hold function be-
fore entering an automatic car wash facility.
Failure to do so could cause damage due
to the automatic application of the parking
brake.
