starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It only operates when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
- the driver’s door is closed.
This hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
