I have a question about what Porsche calls the “Hold Function” on my standard transmission 718 Boxster. The purpose of the Hold Function is to keep the vehicle from rolling back when you are stopped at a traffic light on a hill. Great idea, but the driveway to my garage is a hill, and it has become a problem. In addition to the driveway incline there is a slight bump at the curb and another slight bump as you enter the garage. That means entering the garage in one continuous motion is difficult. If I slow down by depressing the clutch and the car starts to roll back even slightly, the Hold Function actuates the brakes. If I then engage the clutch the brakes don’t seem to release (like the Parking Brake does) and the brakes and engine fight each other. There doesn’t seem to be a way out of that situation other than going back into the street and starting over. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a trick to get the brake to release? The owner's manual says drive off normally but that doesn't seem to work. The dealer wants me to the car in, but my 2012 Boxster had the same problem. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
