Auto hold

Auto Hold helps maintain 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.

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

To apply:
Type A

2C_AutoHoldButtonOn

Type B

2C_AutoHoldButtonOn_2

  1. White

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

  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) or manual shift mode or R (Reverse) (vehicle equipped with shift button), the Auto Hold is released automatically and the vehicle starts to move. The AUTO HOLD indicator changes from green to white.

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

To cancel:

  1. Light off

  1. Press and hold the brake pedal.

  2. Press the AUTO HOLD switch.

The AUTO HOLD indicator turns off.

To prevent, unexpected and sudden 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 is opened

    • The tailgate is opened.

    • The vehicle is in P (Park) or R (Reverse)

    • EPB is applied

  • The Auto Hold automatically switches to EPB when:

    • The driver's door or bonnet is opened

    • The vehicle is at a standstill for more than 10 minutes

    • The vehicle is on a steep slope

    • The vehicle moves several times

    • The tailgate is opened

    The Parking Brake warning light comes on, the AUTO HOLD 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 AUTO HOLD 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 your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

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

We recommend that you contact an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

  • Press the accelerator pedal slowly when you start the vehicle.

  • For your safety, cancel Auto Hold when you drive downhill, reverse the vehicle or park the vehicle.
