5. Hill Holder
The hill holder is a device that facilitates starting on an uphill road. With the help of this device,
even an unexperienced driver can start the vehicle smoothly.
When starting the vehicle on an uphill road, the driver depresses the clutch pedal while keeping
the brake pedal depressed and then releases the brake pedal. At this time the hill holder keeps
the brakes still applied until the clutch pedal is released. This enables the driver to start the vehicle
in a usual manner by depressing the accelerator while releasing the clutch pedal without being
troubled by brake pedal operation.
