This will come into play on the streets of San Francisco. Those steep streets are a bear when you get stopped at a light. Can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for the clear video!

Thank you. My mechanic put it on and left it on and I had no idea what it was or how to turn it off. Very useful and informative!

Love this and use it all the time. Wish my other cars had it

Straight forward and to the point. I like that.

Instead of putting the car in park and back to drive to reset the hold feature after the 3 minutes, can you manually disengage the parking brake by pushing down on the parking brake switch?

Thanks for this video. If I use this function once at a stop light, what happens 3 minutes later while driving? Will it apply the brake when I'm driving down the road in traffic? I'm a little unsure of what will happen.

I have a 2023 Rav4 prime, the parking brake button actuate electric motors at the rear wheels brakes calipers applying mechanical clamping force. Do you know if the HOLD function use the same brake mechanism? Thanks for the Vid.

I just want to leave it running and cycle the engine on and off, but my 2020 seems upset about it, why?

Make sure it’s off if entering an automatic car wash, the car wash tries to push you in behind your left wheel but the breaks are on. I experienced this it was a what the heck is happening moment.

Are the vehicle's brake lights ON while you are on HOLD and it is stopped?

Hay alguna forma de que siempre esté encendido ??? Ya que cada vez que apagas el motor y lo vuelves a prender tienes que volver a encenderlo y para mi forma de manejo es bastante molesto, Gracias.

What is the functional difference between the brake hold and the parking brake? Thanks!

[catalystactual]

why why why why does it turn off when you turn the car off. I wish it just stayed on all the time. Annoying and dangerous that its up to the user to remember if its on or off.

Have this vehicle and yet to see a need to use this feature ? Give your foot a rest ??? I don’t get that logic . My foot doesn’t get tired I guess
