Awesome forgotten feature: AUTO HOLD

[chilly mac]

... instead of asking for input here. We've already chimed in...

I respect BackToHyundaibychoice, but I don't like this post. I think this sort of tone discourages participation in the forum. It's not like the guy is spamming or anything. By my count he only asked two questions in the entire thread, and the first one wasn't even if anything was wrong but instead if anyone loved AH as much as he did.

Anyway, the actual inspiration for this post is that I tried this after lunch today and mine is all on or all off -- either full braking or when AH is disengaged via the gas pedal (no matter how slightly I press the gas) the car is back in regular mode until the brake is pressed again. So, probably either the OP's behavior is by design in some earlier model of car I don't have, or else he has a defect. An enviable defect, apparently, but a defect nonetheless.

Sorry if the tone offended, but you've just confirmed my point. In the time it's taken to post here his SM or SA could've told him that his AH is defective and a likely safety issue. At the least, that his brake system needs inspecting.
After that he could do a "community service" by posting the situation and resolution.
I agree that many issues can/should be discussed here first. But I sometimes wonder why some issues aren't addressed with the dealer first. Especially those that appear safety related.

Thanks for the reminder. I used it this weekend and it really helps relieve pressure on my sore back.

I love this feature. I first got familiar with it in my 2006 BMW 750Li and then again in my 2008 Lexus LS460L.. In between I had a 2007 BMW 335i which DIDN'T have it. I was so spoiled by the feature for the couple of years before that I actually engaged the hand (parking) brake at every light until I got the Lexus with the "hold" feature...

And I've NEVER heard of this "hold" feature allowing people to "creep" slowly forward. Something is wrong...
