How to Use Hill Start Assist in a Car?

[VonCameron]

How to use hill start assist in a car: 1. The gear shift lever is in any position except P; 2. The accelerator pedal is not pressed; 3. The vehicle is in a stationary state; 4. The parking brake is not engaged; 5. The driver removes their foot from the brake pedal, and the hill start assist system will activate. Hill start assist is designed to prevent difficulty when starting on an incline by temporarily controlling the application of brakes to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. Hill start assist is a function derived from the ESP system, allowing the vehicle to remain braked when starting on a slope without using the handbrake, even after the driver's right foot leaves the brake pedal. This enables the driver to switch their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, preventing the vehicle from rolling backward and avoiding accidents.
