After having the TLX for 2 1/2 months,
I finally got around to using the Brake Hold feature. It's fun to use and amazing how it engages or doesn't engage. It's easy to use even if I want to creep along with my foot lightly on the brake. If I want it to hold the brake, I press a little harder. Excellent. I still have the fear of not fully trusting
Brake Hold, but I guess I can get used to it.
On my car, when I pull into a parking space, hit the brakes fully and shift into Park, the electronic brake comes on. When I turn off the car, the
PARK light remains lit for a few seconds and goes out. When I restart, the
PARK light is still on, but goes away with my press the gas pedal. Neat. Then I have to press
Brake Hold again if I want to use it for that session. It would be nice to have
Brake Hold on by default.
I was wondering... With brake hold on and you let go of the brake pedal, do the rear brake lights remain on? I would think so, but I am not certain.
