WARNINGS

If the engine is revved excessively, or

if a malfunction is detected, the

system will be deactivated.

The system makes it easier to pull away

when your vehicle is on a slope without the

need to use the parking brake.

When the system is active, your vehicle will

remain stationary on the slope for two to

three seconds after you release the brake

pedal. This allows you time to move your

foot from the brake to the accelerator

pedal. The brakes are released

automatically once the engine has

developed sufficient drive to prevent your

vehicle from rolling down the slope. This

is an advantage when pulling away on a

slope, (for example from a car park ramp,

traffic lights or when reversing uphill into

a parking space).

The system will activate automatically on

any slope that will cause significant vehicle

rollback.

Using Hill Start Assist

1. Press the brake pedal to bring your

vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep

the brake pedal pressed.

2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle

is on a slope, the system will activate

automatically.

3. When you remove your foot from the

brake pedal, your vehicle will remain

on the slope without rolling away for

about 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 release automatically.
