General notes

The HOLD function can assist the driver in the following situations:

 - when pulling away, especially on steep slopes
 - when maneuvering on steep slopes
 - when waiting in traffic

The vehicle is kept stationary without the driver having to depress the brake pedal.

The braking effect is canceled and the HOLD function deactivated when you depress the accelerator pedal to pull away.
