• Activating condition
This device is activated only when
depressing the clu tch and b rake pedals
with the vehicle stopped on an uphill
road.
A17-264
Fig. 10-84
When stopping the vehicle on an
uphill road, the ball rolls toward the
rear to seal the port and therefore the
hydraulic pressure is maintained even
by releasing the brake pedaL
• Inactive status
This accessory is not activated in
any status other than the above.
1. While driving
a. During acceleration or usual driving
A17-265
Fig. 10-85
Since the clutch pedal is not de-
pressed, the pushrod is located out-
side the port. In this status, hydrau-
lic pressure cannot be maintained.
BRAKES
b. During deceleration
A17-266
Fig. 10-86
Even when depressing the clutch
pedal, the ball is kept at the front
by decelerating force. In this status,
hydraulic pressure is not maintain-
ed.
2. When stopping
A17-267
Fig. 10-87
Even when stopping on an uphill
road, hydraulic pressure
is
not main-
tained unless the clutch pedal is de-
pressed.
3. On a flat road
A17-215
Fig. 10-88
10-30
This device is not designed to
operate on a flat road, except for
reversing.
3) Operational Precautions
1. Hill-holder is a device used to
facilitate starting on an uphill road.
For stoppage on the uphill road,
therefore, you must keep the brake
pedal depressed or pull the parking
brake.
2. Hill-holder may not be activated on
a slope of an extremely small incli-
nation.
3. If the brake
is
not held sufficiently
upon releasing the brake pedal with
the clutch pedal depressed, press
down the brake pedal a little
strongly once again.
4.
If depressing the clutch pedal again
in the course of starting operation,
the brake may be released. In this
case, depress the brake pedal again.
(Because the brake
is
released when
returning the clutch pedal halfway)
(For example, when interrupting
starting operation or shifting gear
from other than WW because of
misoperation)
5. Before you leave the driver's seat,
be sure to pull the parking lever and
confirm that the vehicle
is
kept
stopped upon releasing the clutch
pedal.
6. When reversing the vehicle on a flat
road, the following phenomena
may be felt. These phenomena are
caused by the activation of the hill
holder, which does not constitute
abnormality.
a. Brake effect remains even after
releasing the brake pedal if de-
pressing the clutch and brake
pedals when reversing the vehi-
cle.
b. A slight shock is given to the
vehicle when starting the vehicle
after stopping the reverse
movement.
