VSA System Description - Automatic Brake Hold
Overview
With automatic brake hold, the vehicle stays in a stopped state by using the main brakes and will remain stopped even when the brake pedal is released. There is no need to keep pressing the brake pedal while stopped in heavy traffic or at traffic lights.
Control
As the accelerator pedal is pressed, the automatic brake hold feature is cancelled and returns to the standby mode. If the automatic brake hold features is applied for an extended time (approx.10 minutes), the electric parking brake will engage to hold the vehicle.
