The reason why the new Ford Focus car indicates that the hill assist is unavailable is: the road condition the car is on is not suitable for the hill start assist system, and the car's hill start assist system is automatically activated. When the car is in a condition where the hill start assist system is available, it will automatically activate. The hill start assist system is generally used during the uphill process of the Ford Focus car. If the brake is released, the hill start assist system will also automatically apply the brake effect. Here is additional information: The function of the Ford Focus car's hill start assist system: When the Ford Focus vehicle starts on a steep or slippery slope, the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will slide backward, making it difficult to start. To prevent this situation, the hill start assist control temporarily (for a maximum of about 2 seconds) applies the brake to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from sliding backward.
