SOME ASSISTANCE
Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso
are fitted with a Hill Start Assist function that
helps the driver to set off or manoeuvre on
gradients. When the brake pedal is released,
the ESP automatically maintains a stationary
position for up to two seconds, offering the
driver the time to move their foot from the
brake to the accelerator without the vehicle
moving forwards or backwards on a slope.
