@Stonehedge I don't think so, the car I use the autohold is only engaged by pressing the brake pedal, so it comes on but goes off again as soon as you take you foot off the pedal. I still don't trust the auto handbrake things, and still think when stationary at lights on steep hills its going to come off and I'll roll into the car behind.
On a similar note, my work has a private secure car park that I have to get out of the car and wave my fob at the sensor to open the gate. I then have to get back in the car and drive into the car park, and as it only about 50 yards to my parking spot I don't bother putting my seat belt on, and the car shits itself and beeps constantly at me.
Fucking annoying, so I ignore the beeps and park anyway. But the car is an insistent fucker and is determined to get its way, so when I park, the autohold/parking brake can only be activated if the drivers seat belt is on, it just won't activate at all otherwise. So I have to put my seat belt on, to activate the brake and then take it off again immediately, it drives me fucking mad.
And if you put a decent sized bag of shopping on the passenger seat it thinks its a person and again goes into constant beeping mode, wanting me to put a seat belt on the shopping. I can be a stubborn fucker and have driven 5 miles home once as a test with it beeping constantly, to see if it calls the police on me or does an emergency stop and shuts down completely (it didn't thankfully). I just cranked the stereo up and swore at the car all the way home.
I know what I'm doing car, will you please shut the fuck up and keep your opinions to yourself....and breathe.
I've always wondered....cars with autohold....does the brake light come on when it's engaged?
