  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Auto hold

My AH works great, no slipping/jerking/lurching...nada. When I bought the car I really didn't even know about it and now it's one of my most favorite features.

But man, let me **please** enable it forever in the menu selections!!!

Also keep the heated/cooled seats on if they were on when the veh was turned off.
 
After reading through this thread I am obviously in the minority in that I don't utilize the feature and don't really see the benefit......other than if I were drag racing I guess, or maybe sitting in stop and go traffic on a daily basis.

It's not that I have a problem with it I just don't use it.

How many stop lights do you go thru on your daily drive?
 
Auto Hold (Brake Hold in other makes) is not for stop-n-go traffic. It'll drive you crazy constantly grabbing and releasing.

The feature's optimal use is on low traffic secondary roads where they approach busy highways and other long-cycle stop lights like on semi-divided main roads in suburbia. You don't have to concern yourself with keeping adequate pressure on the brake pedal to prevent creeping and [horror!] "bumping" the car ahead of you (like my elderly father does ALL THE TIME). Once you understand where and when the feature is best used, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

Now, blind spot monitoring, that's a horse of a completely different color, IMO...

I've been using Auto Hold for some years now and I use it A LOT on my daily driver because of the stop lights.
