Autohold function

[andregds]

I accidently activated the autohold function, the display shows a green circled A when I stop. When I release the brake, the car doesn't automatically move forward anymore.

Could anyone explain how to deactivate the autohold function?
And how did I activate it?

Thank you

Once the green A shows you can take your foot of the footbrake.

When you want to set off just depress the accelerator and the car will move automatically.

I would hate to drive a vehicle without Autohold, I think it is an excellent feature.

I know that's not the answer to your question but it sounds like you're doing it wrong?

I do not get any green A but on demo car I did.

Autohold is a setting that you have to turn on or the A will never turn green. It is detailed in the Starting & Driving section of the manual. I have it on by default as it is an excellent feature.

When Autohold is set and you brake to a stop, press the brake pedal a bit harder & the Autohold will activate & the "A" turns green. Then take your foot off the brake pedal. The car will stay braked and the brake lights will be on. Press the accelerator & the car will move off smoothly & Autohold "A" turns white as it is now in standby.

If OPD is on then Autohold activates automatically when the car stops.

Why would you want to de-activate something so useful. Just can't understand.

If you have driven automatic for a while, you might find the crawl without Autohold useful. I use it in stop and go situations, or when parking.

Enabled it today, and so far I’m impressed, saves having to keep your foot on the brake.

Agree, Autohold is great feature. In slow moving traffic if you don't brake hard you can still creep forward so have best of both options.
