This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill

pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The system is only active when:

, with your
foot on the brake pedal.

held temporarily by hill start assist.

with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp and the P indicator lamp
in the electric parking brake control are on
fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, using the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.
Operation

the vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
–
