Hill Start Control - BMW Motorrad R 1250 GS Adventure 2022 Rider's Manual

Downshifts
Downshifts are assisted up to
the speed at which the engine
reaches maximum rpm in the
gear to be engaged. Over-
revving is thus prevented.
Maximum engine speed
max 9000 min
Upshifts
Upshifting is only possible
if the current RPM is higher
than the release threshold for
the next higher gear.
The engine speed is thus pre-
vented from dropping below
idle speed.

ating temperature)

HILL START CONTROL

Hill Start Control function
The Hill Start Control drive-
off assistant function prevents
uncontrolled rolling back on
slopes by means of targeted
intervention in the partial inte-
gral ABS brake system, with-
out the rider having to operate
the brake lever continuously.
When Hill Start Control is ac-
tivated, pressure builds in the
rear brake system so that the
motorcycle remains stationary
on a sloping surface.
The brake pressure in the
brake system depends on the
gradient.
Influence of gradient on
brake pressure and starting
behavior
Stopping on a slight incline
builds up only a small amount
of brake pressure. The brake
is released quickly when rid-
ing off, making it possible to
ride off more smoothly. Ad-
