Hmmm..
I haven't read about Auto Hold locking up and requiring a manual release. AFAIK Auto Hold is strictly hydraulic and only works when the engine is running.

OTOH the Parking Brake is both hydraulic (when the engine on) and mechanical (with the engine off). The posts I've read about manual release involved the Parking Brake. But maybe I've missed something.
