Auto Hold

The 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.

To apply:

  2. When you stop the vehicle completely by depressing the brake pedal, the AUTO HOLD indicator changes from white to green.

  3. The vehicle will remain stationary even if you release the brake pedal.

  4. If EPB is applied, Auto Hold will be released.

To release:

  • If you depress the accelerator pedal with the shift lever in D (Drive) or Manual shift mode, the Auto Hold will be released automatically and the vehicle will start to move. The indicator changes from green to white.

When the AUTO HOLD is automatically released by depressing the accelerator pedal, always take a look around your vehicle.

Slowly depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.

To cancel:

OCN7H063008

  1. Depress the brake pedal.

  2. Press the AUTO HOLD switch.

The AUTO HOLD indicator will turn 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.

  • Park the vehicle.

  • The Auto Hold does not operate when:

    • The gear is in P (Park) and R (Reverse)

    • The EPB is applied

  • For your safety, the Auto Hold automatically switches to EPB when:

    • The driver’s door is opened.

    • The engine hood is opened.

    • The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes

    • The vehicle stands on a steep slope

    • The vehicle moves several times

    In these cases, the brake warning light comes on, the AUTO HOLD indicator changes from green to white, and a warning sound and a message will appear to inform you that EPB has been automatically engaged. Before driving off again, press foot brake pedal, check the surrounding area near your vehicle and release parking brake manually with the EPB switch.

  • While operating Auto Hold, you may hear mechanical noise. However, it is normal operating noise.

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

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

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

We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
