transmission into park position P.
On uphill grades with a gradient angle of more
than 5°, the hill start assist system maintains
the pressure in the brake system for
approximately 1 second after you have
released the brake pedal. Therefore, you can
start off smoothly without the vehicle moving
immediately after releasing the brake pedal.
