Hill start assist
To aid starting on a gradient, your vehicle

it immobilised for a short time (about 1
second), the approximate time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
-
The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.
-
In particular conditions on a slope.
-
With the driver's door closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the tempo-
rary immobilisation hill start
assist phase.
