Will keeping the ‘Brake Hold’ feature on ruin my brakes?
Bought the 2025 HRV Sport model a few weeks ago and I’m loving the brake hold feature.
A friend of mine who has the same car told me someone at the dealership informed them that keeping it on would “destroy the brakes”.
I looked into it on a surface level and it didn’t appear to be true. I know it’s integrated into the ABS system. I believe the person at the dealership may have been talking about something else.
I do notice some noise going on with the brakes if it’s been sitting a little while (when I first start driving. It stops after a few seconds).
The noise reminds me of when you use the parking brake, after it’s been released, your brakes can sound a bit creaky shortly after disengaging it.
I don’t think it does, but I’d rather be safe and not over use it if there was any truth to this.
