STARTING AND DRIVING
Hill Start Assist
The function for assisting when starting the
4
vehicle on inclines (HSA
) helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling backward when starting
on an uphill gradient. When backing up a hill,
HSA helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
forward.
The function retains pressure from the brake
pedal in the brake system for several seconds
after the brake pedal has been released.
This temporary braking effect is released after
a few seconds or when the driver begins driv-
ing.
Hill Start Assist is available even when the
Auto-hold brake function is switched off.
