When the function is deactivated, hill start
assist (HSA) remains active to prevent the

an uphill gradient.

Help when starting on a hill
Hill start assist, Hill Start Assist (HSA), prevents
the car from rolling backwards when starting on
an uphill gradient. When reversing uphill, it pre-
vents the car from rolling forwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in
the brake system remains for several seconds
while the driver's foot is moved from brake pedal
to accelerator pedal.
The temporary braking effect releases after sev-
eral seconds or when the driver starts to drive
away.
Hill start assist is available even if the function for
automatic braking when stationary (Auto hold) is
deactivated.
