Hill start assistance
(depending on vehicle)
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts their foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
System operation
It only operates when the gear selector
is in a position other than neutral (other
than N) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope).
(4/4)
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all situ-
ations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling forwards or back-
wards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or-
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
