Toyota Corolla (E210): Brake Hold
The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in D, B (vehicles without paddle shift switches), M (vehicles with paddle shift switches) or N with the system on and the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the vehicle.
The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D, B (vehicles without paddle shift switches) or M (vehicles with paddle shift switches) to allow smooth start off.
Enabling the system
Turn the brake hold system on
The brake hold standby indicator (green) A comes on. While the system is holding the brake, the brake hold operated indicator (yellow) B comes on.
■Brake hold system operating conditions
The brake hold system cannot be turned on in the following conditions:

If any of the conditions above are detected when the brake hold system is enabled, the system will turn off and the brake hold standby indicator light will go off. In addition, if any of the conditions are detected while the system is holding the brake, a warning buzzer will sound and a message will be shown on the multi-information display. The parking brake will then be set automatically.
■Brake hold function
