To release AUTOHOLD and start
driving the vehicle

If you do any of the following actions to
resume driving the vehicle, the brakes
release automatically and the
AUTOHOLD active indicator light turns
off.

•

(Manual transaxle vehicle)

You start to release the clutch pedal with
the shift lever shifted to a position other
than the neutral position

•

(Automatic transaxle vehicle)

•

The accelerator pedal is depressed.

•

The vehicle tilts rearward or the
selector lever is shifted to the R
position on level ground.

NOTE

•

If the electric parking brake (EPB)
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.

•

Under the following conditions, the
parking brake is automatically applied
and the AUTOHOLD is released. The
AUTOHOLD is re-enabled when the
conditions before the AUTOHOLD is
released are restored.

•

The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.

•

The driver’s door is opened.

•

When about 10 minutes or longer have
passed since the AUTOHOLD operation
started, the parking brake is
automatically applied. Because the
AUTOHOLD is restored when releasing
the parking brake, the hold on the
brakes by AUTOHOLD function
resumes.

•

(Manual transaxle vehicle)

When starting to drive the vehicle
forward or in reverse on a down slope,
depress the clutch pedal and shift the
shift lever to the appropriate position for
driving in the desired direction, and then
depress the accelerator pedal to release
the AUTOHOLD.
