I've had the car for 5 years, I'm familiar with how it works.

I did not say that the car uses the brakes to stop. I said that with hold mode, it applies the brakes once you are stopped. Also there is a mode to blend brakes with regen. This is used when the battery can't accept any energy via regen. Usually when the charge level is close to 100% or the battery is cold. In order to provide consistent dynamics, the car will auto use brakes to make up for low regen.

Here's the manual for hold mode.

Oh that the very bottom it says never rely on hold to ever anything that is literally their caveat to they are not liable to you. put your foot on the brake.
