Any issues with Auto Hold?
One quirk (I hope) I've found driving my Edition One is that the Auto Hold doesn't seem to work at stop lights. For instance, if I stop using the brakes at a light but the road is at a slight incline, the car rolls back until I hit the brake again. I thought the Auto Hold was supposed to keep the car in place after you've stopped. Maybe I don't understand the feature; kind of like driving a car with a manual transmission.

I believe you have to step on and hold the brake momentarily to activate the auto hold. I am used to one pedal driving so when I went on my test drive I was surprised when I started to roll backwards down an incline. Once you briefly step on the brake you will stay put.

You will see a green A on the display when the auto hold is engaged. I think you have to break to a full stop for it to engage— in other words you can’t ease off the break as the car is stopping.
Personally, I feel like the Auto Hold is very similar pedal timing and feel to the auto stop/start on my previous A4.

Thanks; it is turned on, and on a drive this afternoon it seemed to work fairly well - just have to hold the brake down a little longer after a complete stop to get it to engage. I guess I was just a split second too early removing my foot from the brake.
