STARTING AND DRIVING

Hill Start Assist

The Hill Start Assist System helps
prevent the risk of unintended vehicle
movement when driving away from an
incline.
When stopped on an incline, the Hill
Start Assist System will hold the
brakes on for a further two seconds
after releasing the footbrake. The
brakes will automatically release
after two seconds or as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate forward
(whichever is the soonest).
