Auto hold activates the parking brake ('handbrake') - it applies it when you press the brake pedal down. It's the same as flicking the parking brake switch up manually. The P mode transmission mode also applies the same parking/handbrake and also disengages the transmission. Hill hold assist...

I was happy to find that the Infotainment system was able to manage.flac as well as .MP3 files on a usb stick but we've found that whenever we start the car, it reverts to playing in shuffle mode rather than normal sequential mode as it was last left. Any way to fix this?

It's not a sensor, it's mechanical rather than electrical. I think it's more likely to be the d-ring on the boot housing - sticks out through the plastic trim. Ours seems a little low. The tailgate clasp closes down into it.

Thanks for that, will see how it goes.

We picked ours up yesterday but have found it needs quite a heavy slam to close the boot hatch properly so you don't get the warning indication. Seems more than should be required. Also noticed that when opening it, it opens with quite a loud clunk, almost to my ears as if it's not aligned...

Ha! Noticed it on ours this morning, only picked it up yesterday and thought it was a bad backlighting issue but looks same as the images here - yep, bad choice for a background image.

Is the infotainment system meant to remain on until the car is locked, thought it may go off when opening the door after switch off but it remains on until the car is locked?

What is the action, interaction and difference between the EPB, Auto hold and HHC - do they all effectively apply the parking brake and release it under the right circumstances or do so in different ways?

Does it perhaps go 'LO' when it first starts sometimes because it's unable to provide heat from the ICE at that time, until it heats up itself?

When you want to creep forward, e.g. in your garage, from a stop. With auto hold on you need a little more accelerator which, given you've got limited space in the garage, you don't necessarily want. Turn the auto hold off with the console switch and then you have better control of initial move off.

Have they changed this then? Show room models and the one we tried today are still no split and rake only adjustable steering?
