NOTE

switch is pulled while the

AUTOHOLD is operating, the

parking brake is applied and the

AUTOHOLD is released. In addition,

if the parking brake is released under

this condition, the AUTOHOLD

operates to hold the brakes.

parking brake is automatically

applied and the AUTOHOLD is

released. The AUTOHOLD is

re-enabled when the conditions

function resumes.
