What is Brake Hold in Honda HRV?
Brake Hold in the Honda HRV is a feature that automatically holds the brakes for the driver once a complete stop is made. This allows the driver to remove their foot from the brake pedal without the car rolling forward or backward. When the driver presses the gas pedal, the vehicle automatically releases the brakes to allow the vehicle to start moving again.
How to Use Brake Hold in Honda HRV

2. Next to the electronic parking brake, there is a button that says “Brake Hold.” Press it to activate the feature. The brake hold light will illuminate on the dashboard.
3. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the driver can lift their foot off the brake, and the vehicle will remain stationary until the driver presses the gas pedal again.
