Starting and operating
OM-H2249
OM-H2250
On an uphill grade, when the clutch pedal is depressed while the brake
pedal is also depressed, braking power is maintained temporarily by the
Hill Holder when the brake pedal is released. The driver is therefore able
to start the vehicle the same way as on a level grade, just using the
clutch and accelerator pedal.
The hill holder does not operate when the vehicle is facing downhill. And
the hill holder may not operate on slight grades.
When starting in reverse and using the Hill Holder, a braking effect may
be felt even after the brake pedal has been released. However, this brak-
ing effect should disappear once the clutch pedal is released.
A slight jolt may be felt when the vehicle begins to move forward after
being reversed.
If the braking power of the Hill Holder is insufficient after the brake pedal
is released, apply more braking power by pressing the brake pedal
again.
J Manual release
If the vehicle cannot be moved (because it is impossible to release the
hill holder) due to a malfunctioning of the hill holder:
1. Apply the parking brake and stop the engine.
