DSG and Autohold is a match made in heaven.

 

It's the only think I think the Yeti lacks.  I've had it in previous cars and would choose it any day over gimmicks like self parking.

 

The wife previous company Tiguan had DSG and auto hold. It worked really well. I was a little disappointed to discover the Yeti didn't have it. It seems a bit prehistoric having to now pull the handbrake on and select N etc. Other than that, the Yeti is the best car I've ever had (but then my last car was a 24yr old LR Defender!!!)

I'm not sure what you mean about autohold, in my Yeti if I pull up on any incline the hill hold system applies the brake until I pull away. Isn't that the same thing?

Hill Hold Control / Hill Hold assist holds a car for a few seconds between the foot going from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

 

'Auto Hold' when enabled by pushing the brake pedal hard enough then take your foot off the brake & holds the vehicle by applying the brakes until you touch the brake or the accelerator even if Stop / Start has stopped the engine. Or you can move the steering wheel a bit.

 

'Auto hold' is different from a E-brake or manual Parking / Hand brake which just applies the rear brakes.

If the car moves while the 'Autohold' is functioning the brakes get applied with more force.

As above. 

 

That's Hill Hold not Auto Hold.

 

VAG only enable auto hold on vehicles with electric parking brake. It's part of the safety set, it autohold gets cancelled during it's operation (Seat belt removed, drivers door opens, time etc) then the electric parking brake is applied.

 

That's why you don't see auto hold on the Yeti.
