It pulls the parking brake every time you stop. The sportage, i mean. Strikes me as odd, why that feature would be omitted. It’s not like it needs extensive programming to do so, it just needs to “save a setting”. I’m also stupid, misread the original posting. I thought we talk about the Sportage, not the Hyundai. Still the same car underneath mostly, and still doesn’t answer the question why you’d have to activate it after every restart. I genuinely think i couldn’t go back to not having an auto-handbrake. Or, let me specify this: i couldn’t go back to an electric handbrake that doesn’t auto-apply. I’m fine with a manual lever, but a semi-automatic button that only does “auto” every time i activate it after switching ignition, nah. Odd. But as i said, Peugeot is omitting auto hold entirely, there’s nothing to activate. It has an electric handbrake, that’s it.
If every time a start the car I press the button if to turn auto hold on the auto brake will apply automatically when I turn the car off (as it does in your Ateca) If I forget to turn auto hold on then the parking brake will not automatically apply when I switch the car off and would need to manually lift the lever to apply the electronic parking break and if I forget the car rolls off when I get out. So just a new way of learning things 🙂
My fix when I’m feeling better is to stick a small piece of card to wedge the auto hold so it comes on when I start the car essentially making it work like a VAG.,..which is how the new Sportage works
