Thereafter every time you come to a stop the brakes hold you whether you are going up/down or on a level road. You do not need to keep your foot on the brake pedal but once you push on the gas pedal the brake releases and you are on your way. Once you turn the car off you must repeat the procedure. Hope that make sense.
I don't see the need for it all the time but some like the feature and would like to see it come every time they start the car.
