How to activate the hill start assist program in the Passat?
1 Answers
Passat's hill start assist function is automatically started, operated, and shut down by the driving computer without manual intervention. Here is an introduction to the hill start assist: 1. Hill start assist is automatically initiated by the driving computer. When going uphill, it prevents the vehicle from rolling back during gear shifts by providing forward momentum assistance, ensuring smooth gear shifting and driving, which is very user-friendly. 2. Hill start assist, also known as Hill-start Assist Control, is a function derived from the ESP system. It allows the car to start on a slope without using the handbrake and prevents the vehicle from rolling back. The driver can release the brake pedal, and the car will maintain braking for a few seconds, enabling the driver to easily move their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, avoiding panic.
