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 vehicleremains stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows time to move your footfrom the brake to the accelerator pedal. Thesystem releases the brakes automaticallyonce the engine has developed sufficienttorque to prevent your vehicle from rollingdown the slope. This is an advantage whenpulling away on a slope, for example from acar park ramp, traffic lights or when reversinguphill into a parking space.
Note:The system only functions when youbring your vehicle to a complete standstill inan uphill gear (for example, drive (D) whenfacing uphill or reverse (R) when facingdownhill).
Note:There is no warning light to indicatethe system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keep thebrake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle ison a slope, the system activatesautomatically.
3. When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle remains on theslope without rolling away for about twoto three seconds. This hold timeautomatically extends if you are in theprocess of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. Thesystem releases the brakes automatically.
Note:When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal and press the pedal again whenthe system is active, you will experiencesignificantly reduced brake pedal travel. Thisis normal.
