What is my Ford's Auto Hold^* feature?

Auto Hold keeps the vehicle at a complete stop until you press the accelerator. This is useful in stop-and-go traffic and at traffic lights, so you can relax your foot more comfortably. The rear brake lights remain illuminated when Auto Hold is engaged.

Using Auto Hold

To engage Auto Hold:

1. Press the Auto Hold button on the instrument cluster or the console to turn the feature on. The feature can be turned on at any time, even when the vehicle is moving. The AUTO HOLD icon will illuminate in the cluster when the system is turned on.
    
2. Press the brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
3. You can remove your foot from the brake pedal and the vehicle will remain stationary until you press the accelerator.
