when you come to a stop and have your foot on the brake the engine will stop and then restart when you take your foot off the brake. it saves on fuel if you are at long traffic lights yet can be annoying when in slow moving traffic where you drive a car length and stop then move again. The button on the dash can be depressed to shut this feature off, yet it resets to auto after you first start up the vehicle. The brake hold is a separate system where you can activate it and take your foot off the brake pedal to give your foot a rest when stopped for a while.
What does this auto start/stop do.? Is it similar to a brake hold?
