Hill Start Control - BMW R 1250 GS Adventure Rider's Manual

Downshifting
Downshifting is assisted until
maximum rpm for the tar-
get gear to be selected is
reached. This prevents over-
revving.
Maximum engine speed
max 9000 min
Upshifting
Upshifting is only possible
when the current speed is
higher than the respective re-
lease threshold of the next
higher gear.
This prevents the engine from
dropping below idle speed.

HILL START CONTROL

with riding modes Pro
Hill Start Control function
Hill Start Control is a pullaway
assistant that operates on the
partially integral ABS system to
prevent the vehicle from rolling
back on a gradient, without
the rider having to keep pres-
sure applied to the brake lever.
When Hill Start Control is ac-
tivated, pressure is built up in
the rear brake system to keep
the machine at a standstill on a
gradient.
Influence of the holding
pressure on the driving off
behaviour
If the motorcycle is stopped
by the application of low
brake pressure, only low
holding pressure is built up.
In this case, the brakes are
quickly released when driving
off. The motorcycle can be
moved off more gently. It
is not necessary to turn the
throttle grip again.
