PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
(G841172)
The system makes it easier to pull away
when the vehicle is on a slope without the
need to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, the vehicle will
remain stationary on the slope for a short
time after you release the brake pedal.
During this time, you have time to move
your foot from the brake to the
accelerator pedal and pull away. The
brakes are released automatically once
the engine has developed sufficient drive
to prevent the vehicle from rolling down
the slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, for example from
a car park ramp, traffic lights or when
reversing uphill into a parking space.
WARNING
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave the
vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and select first or reverse gear.
USING HILL START ASSIST
(G1280605)
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is stopped on a slope
greater than 3%. The system operates
with the vehicle facing downhill if reverse
gear is selected and with the vehicle
facing uphill if any forward gear is
selected.
Activating the system
WARNINGS
You must remain in the vehicle once
you have activated the system.
WARNINGS
During all times you are responsible
for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and
intervening, if required.
To activate the system:
1. Press the brake pedal to bring the
vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal depressed.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle
is on a slope the system will be
activated automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the
brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on
the slope without rolling away for
approximately two to three seconds.
This hold time will automatically be
extended if you are in the process of
driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The
brakes will be released automatically.
WARNING
If a malfunction is detected when
the system is active, the system will
be deactivated. The warning lamp
will illuminate and a message will be
shown in the display. See
Warning
lamps and indicators (page 51). See
Information messages (page 61).
Deactivating the system
To deactivate the system, perform one
of the following:
• Drive off uphill without re-applying the
brake.
• Wait for two to three seconds until the
system deactivates automatically.
• If the system is active in a forward
gear, select reverse gear.
• If the system is active in reverse gear,
select neutral.
