on and the system will be in the

pletely by depressing the brake

brake pressure to hold the vehicle
stationary. The indicator changes

released.
To release :
• If you depress the accelerator
pedal with the shift lever in D

Auto Hold will be released auto-
matically and the vehicle will start
to move. The AUTO HOLD indica-
tor changes from green to white.
• If the vehicle is restarted using the
cruise control toggle switch (RES+
or SET-) while Auto Hold and cruise
control is operating, the Auto Hold
will be released regardless of
accelerator pedal operation. The

from green to white. (if equipped
with cruise control system)
When the AUTO HOLD is auto-
matically released by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal, always
take a look around your vehicle.
Slowly depress the accelerator
pedal for a smooth start.
