What are the correct steps to use hill start assist?

The correct steps to use hill start assist are as follows: 1. Check that all vehicle parameters are normal and there are no abnormalities in driving. Confirm that the hill start assist function is normally activated. Generally, vehicles do not have a separate hill start assist button (ensure the ESP function is turned on, as the hill start assist function will also deactivate when ESP is turned off). 2. Find a slope with no vehicle traffic and ensure there are no other hazardous factors around. 3. Enter the slope, stop at a point, and there is no need to pull the handbrake—simply press the brake pedal. 4. With your right foot pressing the brake, shift into the forward gear. 5. Release the brake (release it all at once, not slowly), then accelerate to start moving.
