I hate that it turns off after you shut off the vehicle or that the seatbelt has to be clipped to activate it.

I wish it could be set to engaged by default also. Use is all the time!

I can*t understand why anyone wouldn*t use auto hold and not using the parking brake is bewildering to me. However, it is the law in Europe that the parking brake must be applied before leaving the car.
Just hope Autohold can be turned on permanently via the screen UI....
Unfortunately I don't have any mechanical background, would love to learn if someone has an explanation.

Its a great feature but silly that it doesn't stay enabled.
I get the point of requiring a conscious decision by the operator to engage/disengage certain options every time (eg TCS), but I can't think of any negative safety repercussions to leaving it enabled.
Actually, one could argue that it's safer to leave it ON if the operator has set it, vs. disabling it automatically each time.
