w211 screen - "hold" - newly discovered feature!

[Penyekz]

i noticed this msg immediately after picking my car after getting its engine and trans mount changed. it disappeared aftera a few minutes so i ignored it. lately, this msg isappearing just after i switch on the engine. does anyone know what this means?

im worried it means something serious.

[bbwannabe]

not to worry.

and too bad, you missed out on an awesome feature of the w211

[Penyekz]

Thanks. That's interesting. However, this MSG only appeared twice before and doesn't normally appear when I press the brake pedal.

It looks cool and I shall try it later

It's great how I discover new features about the car all the time.

I have this feature! All you need to do is depress the brakes further until hold appears and then the brakes are automatically applied.

Fantastic feature! I wonder how many peepe actually realise this exists. Very useful for lights.

Thanks bbwannabe.

You can either step on the throttle or brake pedal.

You can either step on the throttle or brake pedal.

Or you can put the gear into park

Try buying another Audi - just pressed one button - engage and disengage automatically.

My brake hold function somehow not working anymore. Not sure what is the problem. Anyone has the same experience?

Me too lazy to go CnC ha...

if the brake pedal doesn't engage anymore, then you need to change this tiny plastic in the brake pedal.

before that, were there any ESP warnings? cruise control/distronic still working?

if this plastic fails, few other things goes too.

$40 part only.

thanks for your reply. There is no warning sign and cruise control is working. BTW, mine is a W204 FL.

Where can I go check and replace the plastic thingy?
