Driver assist systems
NOTE: Depress the accelerator pedal to the full throttle position when
driving off in a fully loaded vehicle.
Liquid transport
It is also advisable to use Hill Start Aid when driving with liquid transport on a level road.
During and after stopping the vehicle, loads like oscillating liquid in a tank can start
moving backwards and forwards. This results in a mass shift, which can unexpectedly
move the vehicle.
Hill Start Aid remains active (brake boosters activated) after a vehicle stop, and
prevents the vehicle from moving until the accelerator pedal is depressed and the
vehicle drives off smoothly.
Engaging conditions
Hill Start Aid can be engaged when:
– The Hill Start Aid is enabled using the spring loaded switch on the control panel.
– The vehicle is at standstill.
– The park brake is released.
– The brake pedal is applied.
– ABS has not been activated during the last stop.
Disengaging conditions
Hill Start Aid is disengaged when:
– The Hill Start Aid is disabled using the spring loaded switch on the control panel.
– The ignition is switched off.
– The park brake is applied.
NOTE: If all of the available pedals are released, the 'Brake release'
warning is shown on the master display and the brakes are released. Once
the brake pedal is depressed again, Hill Start Aid becomes active again.
Enabling and disabling Hill Start Aid
Use the switch on the control panel to enable or disable Hill Start Aid.
When Hill Start Aid is enabled the green indicator light in the switch is on.
