This allows time to move your footfrom the brake to the accelerator pedal.The system releases the brakesautomatically 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.
Note:The system only functions when youbring your vehicle to a complete standstill.Shift the gearshift lever to reverse (R) whenfacing downhill and first gear (1) whenfacing uphill.
