The smart technology incorporated into
the Aut o Hol

d function cannot defy the
laws of physics; it only works within the lim-
its of the system. The greater convenience
provided by the Auto Hold function should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety.

Driving
around you, carefully start accelerating up to
no mor e than 7 km/h (
4 mph). During the
parking manoeuvre, the system only takes
charge of the steering. You, as the driver,
have to accelerate, engage the clutch if
necessary, change gears and brake.
