There's this clause in the manual regarding auto-hold that "under certain conditions, the system could apply the electric parking brake"...

Ford Maverick autohold and parking brake 1743612231884-y


I think I just experienced this today and wondering if anyone know what those "certain conditions" are referring to.

I have had the parking brake set automatically when parking on a drive that was fairly steep.

Can you add some info for your situation? were you parked?

I was under the impression that the auto-hold IS the electric parking brake, and the "certain conditions" are that A-H is enabled and you come to a full stop.

No, it uses the ABS system.

No I was sitting in traffic with the auto hold on. I think after a while the parking brake light came on. When I hit the gas it goes away and truck moved. It hasn't happened since , just curious

I can easily get the parking brake to activate in auto hold. I live on a five acre lot and have a long gated driveway. All I have to do is having the truck in auto hold and open the drivers door. The truck automatically goes into park and the parking brake sets. I open the gate and get back in and put my foot on the brake put it back in ā€œDā€ and it releases and I go forward
