Hi everyone!

I am about to buy a Octavia 3 and I could not figure out one thing. Is there auto hold function and button in the O3? I am searching a dsg car, and it would be great if there is a possibility to use the auto hold function, or to activate it, or to buy a button and put it in the car at service.

What do you now about this?

Thanx a lot!

When you say Auto Hold do you mean Hill Hold. My 2016 dsg has this function. You just hold your foot on the brake for more than two seconds it engages and you can lift off  for a short while. Tap the accelerator and it releases the brake. 

No, that is the HHC = Hill Hold Control. That holds the car just for a couple of sec, as you mentioned. The auto hold can hold the car for minutes or more e.g. at a traffic light or anything. I stop the car totally, the auto hold function engages, a lift the break pedal, but the car is still stopped while the dsg is in D. When I push the gas pedal a little, then the break releases, and car starts.

IIRC Auto Hold needs the car to have EPB, which the Octavia III doesn't have.

Yeah, and I was afraid of that.

Thanx the answer!
