The parking brake is not required.

1. Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake.

After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds.

Depending on the vehicle load or when a trailer is being used, the vehicle may roll back slightly.

After releasing the foot brake, start driving without delay, since the drive-off assistant will not hold the vehicle in place for more than approx.
