Note
Transitioning from auto hold to parked
Your car will transition to P if auto hold is active for several minutes, if you unbuckle your seatbelt or if you open the
driver door.
Conditions
Auto hold is available when you are in gear D or N. You must also have your seatbelt buckled and the driver door closed.
8.7.4. Post-impact braking
The car automatically applies the brakes when a severe collision is detected. This can reduce the risks
associated with additional impacts.
In the moments after a collision, the car may still be moving at high speed. There is also a major risk that the driver is not in full
control of the car, which could lead to additional impacts.
In the event of a severe collision[1], automatic braking reduces your speed in a controlled manner, bringing the car to a halt.
Reducing your speed is especially important if there are pedestrians, vehicles or objects in the car's path.
The brake lights and hazard warning lights activate during the manoeuvre. When the car comes to a stop, the hazard warning
lights stay on and the parking brake activates.
Note
Manual override
Pressing down on the accelerator overrides the braking manoeuvre, allowing the driver to select a safe place to stop.
Post-impact braking requires that the brake system is intact after the collision.
[1]
The severity of the collision must exceed a certain threshold for post-impact braking to activate. For example, if airbags have
deployed.
