2018 Auto HoldSeveral months ago I noticed on a 2019 'loaner' Navigator that the Auto Hold function 'remembered' what it was set to when the vehicle was last turned off. Researching 2018 Owners Manuals on Lincoln website I found these:

Press the button to switch the system on and off. The indicator light illuminates when you switch the system on.
Note: You can only switch the system on if you close the door and fasten your seatbelt.
Note: The system turns off every time you power down your vehicle.
Note: The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle.
Note: When in reverse (R), Auto Hold does not function.

2018 Lincoln Navigator Owners Manual
Third printing 07/27/2018 (page 230)
WARNING: The system will turn off if a malfunction is apparent. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
The system uses your vehicle's brakes to hold your vehicle at a standstill after you stop your vehicle and release the brake pedal. For example, Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at traffic lights or while in traffic jams by holding the brake pressure for you once you bring your vehicle to a stop.
Make sure you switch the system off before towing with your vehicle.
Note: In case of a malfunction in the system while Auto Hold actively holds the vehicle (for example, low power supply), a message appears in the information display asking you to press the brake pedal. If you see this message, press the brake pedal immediately.
Note: The system only activates if it recognizes it is applying enough brake pressure. On a steep hill or slope, make sure you press the brake pedal sufficiently to activate the system.
Note: In some cases, Auto Hold might hand over to the parking brake. When the parking brake applies, the red brake lamp appears. This is normal. When you press the accelerator pedal, the drive away release feature releases the parking brake.
Note: Auto Hold works on all road grades.

There is an indicator lamp in the instrument cluster that has two modes, active and unavailable:

First Printing & Second Printing did not have the 3rd 'Note:'
=======================
After being told by my dealer several times the didn"t think they had seen it work that way in a 2018 and didn't know any way to make it work that way I finally sent a letter to Lincoln Concierge about this issue and also my steering wheel memory 'forgetting' it's vertical position which the dealer had 'checked out' several times but could not duplicate or fix.
So the dealer then, in conjunction with the Concierge, had my Navigator for nearly 2 weeks (I had a brand spanking new, less than 50 miles on it, 2021 Navigator Reserve loaner). This time they said they replaced BCBM module. It's been a few weeks without loosing steering wheel memory ... I'm feeling like that is fixed. The work order addressed the 'AUTO HOLD' with 'working as designed' comment. I've not heard from the Concierge since before my Navigator was returned. My service advisor said something about they may have updated the 2018 Owners Manual for 2019 (Auto Hold) but put it out as 3rd printing 2018 ... Not sure I buy that. I'd still like an explanation from Lincoln as to why the manual should not be trusted, or at least corrected ... or make the vehicle operate as stated in the manual.
Any one else have issues like this?Tue, 05 Jan 2021 21:17:37 +0000
