Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even if the brake
pedal is not depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop
by depressing the brake pedal. Auto Hold can be turned On/Off using the
AUTO HOLD switch

on the center panel. Before Auto Hold will operate, the
driver’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed and the driver’s seat
belt must be fastened.
Depress the brake pedal, start the engine and then press the AUTO HOLD
switch

in standby.
The Auto Hold indicator, which is in the instrument cluster, has four states:
White: Standby – When vehicle is in Park and at a standstill, and AUTO HOLD
switch

turned ON, the indicator will illuminate white. While driving the
vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged – When coming to a complete stop by depressing the brake
pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to green.
OFF (not illuminated) – The indicator will turn OFF when the AUTO HOLD
switch

system malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.

Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking
your vehicle

the vehicle stopped. Always pay attention to traffic
and road conditions, and be prepared to depress
the brakes.
