Who's been using the Auto Hold feature?

Yes! I use this all the time. It's not new in vehicles. I had this feature back in 2007 in a BMW X5 M and I got used to using it then. My personal standard operating procedure is to use it always. Except if I'm stopped and pedestrians are crossing in front of me. Or I'm first inline at a red light with cross-traffic in front. Then I put my foot on the brake as a back-up.

I tested my ST this weekend at the carwash with Auto Hold engaged. This is what I found: When shifting into neutral with Auto Hold engaged a warning in the main screen and chime sounds that says "Select M to confirm stay in Neutral Mode" If you then push the "M" button then you'll get a caution message saying "Stay in Neutral Mode Engaged" and the Auto Hold is deactivated. See photos.
The carwash guys I use must be used to vehicles with Auto Hold because they follow-the alerts without me telling them to do so. It would probably be a best practice to Dis-Engage Auto Hold just to sure.
