If you hit the button while the car is still moving, you just turn on the auto hold (or turn it off if it was already on) but nothing else happens. The car keeps going normally until you stop, then the auto hold takes effect and you can remove your foot from the brake. The car is now held in place by the auto hold. The second you hit the gas, the auto hold disengages, until you stop the car again...

The default is for auto hold to be off. So, one has to remember to press the auto hold button to engage the system. I wish one could change the default and have auto hold be on all the time until one turns it off.
