Hi guys,
Everything was going well, until all of a sudden the car won't pull off and release from Auto-Hold (green P on dashboard / auto-hold lit up near gear stick). The car literally holds on the spot and doesn't go anywhere - then either creaks (handbrake sort of noise from the rear) or stalled.
If Auto-Hold is turned off, the car even doesn't move from the spot when pulling off with the handbrake on. I can only assume from reading the handbook that the car should automatically release from the handbrake (ignoring Auto-Hold, as that is even off) and pull off, like with any car with a handbrake button.... . You don't have to press the handbrake button down to pull off do you, regardless of Auto-Hold being on/off?
The only way to ensure no issues is to turn Auto-Hold off and manually push down the handbrake button to pull off...
Otherwise, I have this issue. I am talking a brand new car here!! But all was OK for a bit...
Sometimes, i also notice the Auto-Hold button doesn't register when you push it, so push on/off is more like push twice or three times to turn on/off.
Apparently, nothing is wrong with it, but I am due to go out in it later with a technician to show them.
Hoping nothing is wrong and it is just me, but all was OK to start with and I didn't even think about the feature. The Auto-Hold feature was automatically on from new and I was enjoying it.
Thanks.
