It's an auto hold feature. It applies the parking brake to hold the car on a hill for example. Simply press the gas to release it. It will activate any time the car comes to a stop.

Auto H is also cool to use if you are in stop and go traffic. The car won't roll forward when you let off the brake pedal.

1. Auto H is not so much for hills as for stop lights. Well, stop lights and hills. It kills AT creep, and that's a good thing. I wasn't sure I'd like it ? but it works slick.
2. Stop-and-go in the expensive cruise control is not the same thing at all. It won't stop the car for a red light unless the car in front of you stops first.

I actually lost a deal on an M6 today because it's not available with Active Cruise. Who would have thought?
