Your car might have an auto brake hold feature—it keeps the brakes on when you’re stopped until you press the gas. If this system isn’t working right, you’ll get a message like this.

Turning the car off and on sometimes fixes it. If not, it’s probably time for a mechanic.

Sounds like it could be the hill assist system (it holds the brakes when you’re on an incline). Your owner’s manual should have more info on this.

This probably means the auto hold system isn’t working right. Check your owner’s manual for details.

Looks like it’s broken.

Pretty much just means you should take it to a mechanic.

It probably means the Auto Hold or Hill Assist isn’t working at the moment. If you don’t use it often, it’s not urgent, but you might want to get it checked out.

Your car’s owner manual should give you an idea about what this warning means and where to start.
