Automatic electronic handbrake

Featured Replies

automatic electronic parking brake. Parked the car as normal but left it in gear as I always do. Returned to the car pressed the clutch to take the car out of gear and start the car. Car started to roll forwards. Braked to stop the car. Then drove away. Next time I stopped I noticed that the automatic handbrake not working. Went into settings no tick in the box for automatic handbrake so tried to turn on the automatic handbrake but get the message “This function is currently unavailable” Any suggestions please

Handbrake working correctly manually.

Check that Auto hold is still enabled. IIRC The automatic parking brake only engages, on ignition off, if auto-hold is enabled

Thank you for the reply Auto hold is activated. But if I press to try and change it. I get the same message " this function is currently unavailable"

That sounds like there may be a sensor fault preventing the activation.

IIRC Seat belt & drivers door switch are involved, are they working ok ?

According to AI ( which of course could be wrong! )

A Škoda "Auto Hold currently unavailable" warning means the system cannot maintain brake pressure at a standstill. It is usually caused by an unfastened seatbelt, an open driver's door, a weak 12V battery, or a temporary electronic glitch. Normal braking remains fully operational.

Thanks for the reply no other error light doors/ seatbelt appear to be working correctly. Doesn't appear to be a problem with the battery, it was replaced 6 months ago.

I tried error checking with Carista and that came up with 8 errors..

I cleared them but 3 returned.

1 with the infotainment system 1 with telematics and 1 with the multi functional module

I'm on holiday at the moment so further investigation when I get home
