1) Starting forward facing uphill
2) Starting backward facing downhill
In both these cases, when the clutch
pedal is depressed while the brake pedal
is also depressed, braking power i s
maintained temporarily by the Hill start
assist system when the brake pedal is
released. The driver is therefore able to
start the vehicle the same way as on a
level grade, just using the clutch and
accelerator pedal.
If the braking power of the Hill start assist
system is insufficient after the brake pedal
is released, apply more braking power by
depressing the brake pedal again.
The Hill start assist system may not
operate on slight grades. Also, the Hill
start assist system does not operate in the
following cases.
. when starting backward facing uphill
. when starting forward facing downhill
. while the parking brake is applied
. while the ignition switch is in the “ACC”
or “LOCK”/“OFF” position
