We took the Ioniq to the West Midlands Safari Park today. An EV with Auto Hold is definitely the way to do it, it was so easy and quiet!
"Auto Hold" was a godsend as it's a fairly hilly route with lots of stopping so it's great to have the car hold itself without really having to do anything. Towards the end though it stopped using Auto Hold and started putting the parking brake on instead, giving a little message in the dash that it was doing so. The effect was the same, but it was a bit more jerky engaging and disengaging.
Does anyone know why it did that? Can it only use auto hold so much before it has to use the parking brake?
On the way home auto hold was back to normal, so I'm curious...
