John,

Good question.  Not sure how to answer that, especally with this electronic
emergency brake system.  It's showing up as 3 errors on the dash:

1. electronic emergency brake problem
2. brake system problem
3. and a "brake" light light.

Now in the car, there is a "park" brake which 
activates the emergency brake, ie.
both rear calipers, and a brake hold.  Don't know 
the difference.  My guess is that
the hold is for stopping on an incline and 
automatically turns off at a certain rpm.
But I didn't read the owners manual about this.

John
