Deactivating the HOLD function
The HOLD function is deactivated automatically if:
• you accelerate and the transmission is in position D or R.
• you shift the transmission to position P.
• you apply the brakes again with a certain amount of pressure until HOLD
disappears from the instrument cluster.
• you secure the vehicle using the electric parking brake.
• you activate DISTRONIC PLUS.
After a time, the electric parking brake secures the vehicle and relieves the service brake.
WARNING
Never get out of the vehicle when the HOLD
function is activated.
The HOLD function must never be operated
or deactivated by a passenger or from outside
the vehicle.
The HOLD function does not replace the
electric parking brake and must not be used
for parking.
The braking effect of the HOLD function is
canceled and the vehicle could roll away if:
• the HOLD function is deactivated by
depressing the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal.
• there is a malfunction in the system or an
interruption in the power supply, e.g. battery failure.
• the electrical system in the engine
compartment, the battery or the fuses are
tampered with.
• the battery is disconnected.
