Can the Volkswagen Santana be equipped with hill-start assist?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Santana cannot be equipped with hill-start assist because the hill-start assist is integrated with ESP and requires certain modifications to the ECU. Definition of Hill-start Assist System: Hill-start Assist, also known as Hill-start Assist Control. To prevent difficulty in starting on a slope, the hill-start assist control temporarily (for a maximum of about 2 seconds) applies braking to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. How to use the automatic transmission assist system: With the vehicle's gear in P (do not put it in P, other gears are fine), press the brake pedal firmly until you hear a "beep" sound. At this time, the hill-start assist system is activated (working time is two seconds), and the brake lights will illuminate to automatically generate braking.
