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.

To apply:

OUS4061008

  1. With the driver's door and engine hood closed, depress the brake pedal and then press the AUTO HOLD switch. The white AUTO HOLD indicator will come on and the system will be in the standby position.

    OUS4061009

  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.

  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 gear in D (Drive), R (Reverse, vehicle equipped with shift button) or Manual shift mode, the Auto Hold will be released automatically and the vehicle will start to move. The AUTO HOLD indicator changes from green to white.

When 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:

OUS4061010

  1. Depress and hold 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.

  • Drive the vehicle in R (Reverse, vehicle equipped with shift button).

  • Park the vehicle.

  • The Auto Hold does not operate when:

    • The gear is in P (Park)

    • The gear is in R (Reverse, vehicle equipped with shift lever)

    • 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 is in a standstill for more than 10 minutes

    • The vehicle is standing on a steep slope

    • The vehicle moved several times

    • The tailgate is opened (shift button type only)

    In these cases, the Parking 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, depress the brake pedal, check the surrounding area near your vehicle and release the parking brake manually with the EPB switch.

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

If the AUTO HOLD indicator changes to yellow, Auto Hold is not working properly. We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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

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

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

We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
