Hill start assist? That's what that is?
Detects if you are stopped on a steep incline and automatically applies the brakes while the engine builds revs, so you don't roll backwards while trying to start forward. Eliminates the need to use your left foot on the brake.
My Dodge Charger and Dodge Ram both had/have the feature, even works while towing - kinda handy.
I can see it's usefulness on a manual transmission, but kinda confused why they would bother on an automatic :h
Likely its not a true automatic. Probably one of those manual trannies with electronic shift which makes it seem like an automatic.
