Is Hill Start Assist Automatically Activated?

[Robin]

Hill Start Assist is automatically activated. The conditions for its automatic activation are as follows: 1. The vehicle must be on an uphill slope. 2. The gear should not be in P (Park). 3. The accelerator pedal is not pressed. 4. The vehicle is in a stationary state without the handbrake engaged. This function primarily assists the vehicle during uphill driving. Simply put, when encountering an uphill section, Hill Start Assist aids the vehicle in ascending, facilitating smoother driving—akin to automatically hiring a pusher for the car owner, saving considerable effort. With automatic hold enabled on an incline, the vehicle won't roll back, and unlike Hill Start Assist which has a time limit, it continuously provides braking force as long as the accelerator isn't pressed.
