Any way to make "Brake Hold" On and "Sway Warning" Off survive restarting?

I like the Brake Hold feature and dislike the Sway Warning beeps. I know that I can set them to the way I want, but wish I didn't have to do that every time I start the car!

Does anyone here know how to make my preferred settings stick?

Brake hold, not that I am aware of.
Sway warning, you may be able to disable that, or at least reduce the sensitivity, using the dash display and the left side navigation buttons which allow fine-tuning of some features, rather than simply "on/off" from the right side buttons.

Brake hold is like sport mode... it's going to reset with each shutoff.

Well, I discovered that if you lower the sensitivity of the Sway Warning it beeps less often - and that setting seems to stick, even if it keeps defaulting to On.

Are you speaking of the Lane Detect Alert system? Otherwise known as LDA? LDA beeps when you get close to the lines or try to change lanes without using your turn signal. It may even try to gently tug you back if you have it set up that way. But there is a "sway" or "weaving" setting also that will warn you with a coffee cup symbol on the dash advising you to take a break if you're weaving from side to side too much and it thinks you're tired. That's what I thought you were referring to originally until I realized you said it beeps. If it's beeping it's probably the LDA and that's easy to get rid of.

There's a button on the right spoke of the steering wheel in the lower left corner that you can turn it off with. And it remembers your last setting even after you restart the car. It will remain off if that's what you set it for when you shut the car off.

PS Re: Brake Hold - No, you don't have to stamp on the brake pedal to get it to say "Hold" in amber letters on the dash. Just stop the car completely with normal pressure and if "Hold" doesn't appear, a gentle increase of pressure will do it.
