1. Does the auto hold feature actually keep the brake pads applied?
2. Or does it release that and engage the parking brake only?
I'm curious because for instance I'm coming down a series of long hills and have hot brakes, I don't want to imprint that on the rotors at a long stoplight.

The concept
This system assists the driver by automatically setting and releasing the brake, such as when moving in stop-and-go traffic.
The vehicle is automatically held in place when it is stationary.
On inclines, the system prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when driving away.
For your safety
Automatic Hold is deactivated automatically and the parking brake is set when: - The engine is switched off.
- A door is opened and the driver's safety belt is unbuckled.
- The vehicle is braked to a standstill with the parking brake while driving.
