Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a standstill even if the brake pedal is released. Auto Hold can be turned on/off using the AUTO HOLD switch on the center panel. Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver’s door, engine hood and trunk must be closed, and the driver’s seat belt must be fastened.

Standby (white): With vehicle in Park, at a standstill, and AUTO HOLD switch turned ON, the indicator will illuminate white. While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white.

Engaged (green): When coming to a complete stop and depressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator changes from white to green.

OFF (not illuminated): The indicator will turn off when the AUTO HOLD switch is turned off or when the EPB is manually turned on.

Malfunction (yellow): When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may be a system malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
