Hill start assist

Hill start assist helps you when pulling away

forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient.

It holds the vehicle for a short time after you

have removed your foot from the brake pedal.

This gives you enough time to move your foot

from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal

and to depress it before the vehicle begins to

roll.

WARNING

After a short time, hill start assist will no

longer brake your vehicle and it could roll

away. There is a risk of an accident and injury.

Therefore, quickly move your foot from the

brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never

leave the vehicle when it is held by hill start

assist.
