Was I the only one that did not know this feature...

So I am driving my car and listening to music. I pumped my breaks a few times. not hard, just regular. and I noticed on the dashboard... it read HOLD. i had no idea what that was. but i let go of the break and my car did not move. i thought this was great because i can let go of the break and when on C mode (dont laugh sometimes i drive in that mode) it wont turn off the air. I live in miami and AC is a must.
But i also noticed that the HOLD mode works in c S S+. i pumped the breaks 2 times lightly.. and the car status went to hold, and on a hill or wherever the car did not move. all i did was give it gas and off i went.

So am i the only idiot that had no idea after a year of owning the car?

You don't have to pump the brakes. Once you're stopped with foot already on the brake just give it a firm push.

Did you check in your glove box compartment. There is something in there called an owner's manual. Read it, it is very informative
