Default ABS Auto disables itself while its turned on? (actually AFS)

This issue happens once or twice a week, Default is ABS ( ON ) , when i stop at a trafic light and take off or put the gear to "N" and back to "D" ive noticed the ABS is disabled and i have to push the button to re-enable it.

Is anyone having ther same issue besides me ?

Just wondering do you also use the Brake Hold feature?

No i dont use that feature because i dont fasten my seat belt. But i tried it like 5 times works perfect especially when waiting for the trafic lights to turn green rather than the way i do it; shifting gear to "N" which sometimes makes the car move backwards so you still have to push the "Hand Brake" and then remove your leg from the brake pedal.

ABS as in Anti-Lock Brake System? There is no switch for that. If you are seeing the yellow ABS light on the instrument panel, it indicates a malfunction and you should have it checked right away. The ABS light has no (ON)/(OFF) indicator. Just the light, and when it's on, there is a problem.

Perhaps you are confusing it with the AFS feature - Adaptive Front Light system, which does show (ON)/(OFF). This can be turned on and off by the switch just above the change drawer near the drivers door. This happens to me almost every time I get change out of the drawer, because of it's poor placement, I accidentally hit the AFS button and turn the system off.
