Auto Hold

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

When the vehicle is restarted, the last setting for Auto Hold is applied.

To apply:

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

  2. When you stop the vehicle completely by depressing 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.

    • If EPB is applied, Auto Hold is released.

To release:

If you depress the accelerator pedal with the gear in D (Drive) or R (Reverse), 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 depressing the accelerator pedal to release Auto Hold.

To cancel:

  1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

  2. Press the AUTO HOLD button.

The N indicator turns off.

To prevent unintended vehicle movement, always depress 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 hood is opened.

  • The tailgate is opened.

  • The gear is in P (Park) or R(Reverse) (Shift lever type only).

  • EPB is applied.

  • The Auto Hold automatically switches to EPB when:

    • The driver's door or hood is opened.

    • The tailgate is opened.

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

    • The vehicle is standing on a steep slope.

    • The vehicle moves several times.

    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, depress 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, hood, or tailgate open detection system malfunctions, Auto Hold does not work properly. We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

If there is a malfunction with the driver's door or hood open detection system, Auto Hold may not work properly.

We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
