Using Hill Start Assist
Note: If the engine is revved excessively, hill start assist will be
deactivated.
1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill.
Keep the brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope, the hill start assist
feature will be activated automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will
remain on the slope without rolling away for approximately two or three
seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the
process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released
automatically.
Note: Using the brakes and the hill start assist is the recommended
method of holding a position on a hill. It is not recommended to use the
accelerator pedal and engine torque to hold a hill position for an
extended period of time. Doing so will over heat the clutch in vehicles
equipped with a manual transmissions.
