The console button is for the HDC Hill Descent Control. It will automatically apply the brakes to maintain a constant speed on very steep downhill gradients. It's not a "hill holder" in the general usage of the term. Interestingly, it can be applied in Drive or Reverse and can be set at any speed from "walking" to 22 mph. using the accelerator pedal, or to 15 mph using the cruise control switches.
"Hill holders" typically keep the brakes applied on manual transmission vehicles when you take your foot off the brake pedal and allow you to move to the accelerator pedal without the car rolling backwards.
