Volkswagen Passat auto hold not working

Car: Volkswagen Passat
Variant: 2.0 tdi 140 SPORT DSG
Model Year: 2007
Categories: Leaks & Noises
Hi,
the auto hold function on my passat has stopped working,I'm not sure when this
happend as i dont use it that often!
I was wondering is there a fuse to check
but can't identify as there is no specific
fuse for the auto hold function listed on
the fuse diagram.
many thanks
the vindicator!

Thanks for the info "Whittingehame" I understand the function and use of auto hold,my problem is the button once you press it the light in the button will not function and I have tried an hill start,the system won't engage the car just
rolls backward.With it being electrically operated I was hopeful that it may just be the button at fault,I have just had the parking break
button replaced at a volkswagen main dealer 115 pounds(ouch!!)thats why I was hoping it is just a fuse!I apollogise if my original qustion was a tad misleading!!!
HELP

Cant tell you if it's covered by seperate fuse or not , dont have data on fuse layout . If they replaced button to cure this fault and it did not , take it back and tell them you still got this fault .If they carried out a scan it should show what is causing the problem .
