Auto-hold gotcha
We've had our XC40 D4 R-Design since mid-March. On the whole, very happy with it.
Yes, the auto-hold does sometimes make a slight graunching noise, but nothing that would worry me.
Maybe thread drift, but....With start/stop and auto-hold activated, sitting in a queue at B&Q last week. Engine had stopped. It suddenly started, as it does with s/s from time to time. The car immediately rolled forward a couple of feet as I'd left it in Drive (maybe I shouldn't have done, but I thought that was the idea?); fortunately the auto-hold stopped it before the car ahead got a surprise - or would the City Safety have braked if necessary? I was never keen on start/stop, so now I just don't use it if I'm using auto-brake. Just something else to have to think about!
