Hill start assist

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the 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,
- when certain conditions of gradient are
met,
- with the driver's door closed.
the hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.
When the engine is not running,
including periods on standby with
the Stop & Start (AS&g) system, the
function is not operative.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle while
the engine is running, apply the parking
brake.

On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
