Can auto-hold automatically operate?

[Snoopy the 4Runner]

The default for auto-hold (the feature that holds the brake for you) is off. But in my wife's car it's always on. I much prefer it on always than turning it on each time the car starts. It can be a hazard issue when I forget to turn it on but think it's on. Is there a setting in the car we can fiddle with or is it something we have to live with? Anybody know? I did a little research and no luck.

Thank you!

I’m assuming you have to turn it on after every start but will remain engaged for the duration of the drive until you manually turn it off or shut the car off. I could be wrong but haven’t seen a setting or way to keep it on automatically after every start….
