Features
Comfort/Convenience
Hill start assist automatically engages the brakes when the vehicle
is started on an upward or downward slope to prevent it from
rolling, whether in a forward gear or Reverse.
Activating the system is simple:
Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete
‒
standstill
Keep the brake pedal pressed
‒
If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope, hill start
‒
assist is automatically activated
System utilizes an accelerometer to measure the slope and
longitudinal incline and automatically operates when a slope of
5 degrees or more is calculated
When hill start assist is activated, the brake pressure is held in
the braking system and the vehicle remains stationary on the
slope for 2 to 3 seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal
The brakes are automatically released once the engine has
developed sufficient power to prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope
Hill start assist will not operate when the parking brake is engaged
NOTE: Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver's attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.
