Two weeks of feeling like the last car off the line at every robot. Eco mode + Auto Hold engaged + a touch of throttle a half-second early — genuinely fixed it, not just "you get used to it." Writing it up since it comes up constantly.
Ten thousand km in and this is exactly what worked. Also — Auto Hold needs firmer brake pressure than feels natural to actually arm. A light stop sometimes just doesn't engage it, which reads as "not working" when it's really just not on.
Some of us just shift to Neutral at longer stops instead — no science behind it beyond not wanting to hold the transmission in Drive against the brake for a full robot cycle. Both approaches seem to work fine.
One thing worth knowing: with Auto Hold on, opening the door with the engine running auto-applies the handbrake. Tested it in an empty parking lot before trusting it at the boot on a real trip — recommend the same.
