Kezo, you sure that there’s no option for it to be permanently active?
No Rene no option and its a common question on the Hyundai forums. There is a memory module available to buy from Korea but not worth the hassle TBH.
I’m sloooowly getting use to it after getting out and the car starts to move as if I forget to turn it on it want automatically apply the electronic handbrake. Having had the Skoda nearly 5 years prior and just use to getting out knowing the electronic parking brake would automatically come on as auto hold was always set to on takes some getting use to in my old age lol. The Sportage now keeps auto hold in it memory on or off so perhaps facelifted Tuscon when it becomes available will feature it too.
I believe the hybrid goes into park once ign turned off.
