4.Apply the brake pedal. Using a suitabletool rotate the lever forward whilepulling the transmission selector leverout of the park position and into theneutral position.
Note:See an authorized dealer as soon aspossible if this procedure is used.
HILL START ASSIST
WARNINGS
The system does not replace theparking brake. When you leave yourvehicle, always apply the parkingbrake and move the transmission selectorlever into position P (Park).
You must remain in your vehicle onceyou have activated the system.
During all times, you are responsiblefor controlling your vehicle,supervising the system andintervening, if required.
If the engine is revved excessively, orif a malfunction is detected, thesystem will be deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle willremain stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows you time to move yourfoot from the brake to the acceleratorpedal. The brakes are releasedautomatically once the engine hasdeveloped sufficient drive to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope. Thisis an advantage when pulling away on aslope, (for example from a car park ramp,traffic lights or when reversing uphill intoa parking space).
The system will activate automatically onany slope which can result in significantvehicle rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keepthe brake pedal pressed.
2.If the sensors detect that your vehicleis on a slope, the system will beactivated automatically.
3.When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle will remainon the slope without rolling away forapproximately two or three seconds.This hold time will automatically beextended if you are in the process ofdriving off.
4.Drive off in the normal manner. Thebrakes will be released automatically.
Switching the System On and Off
