Which Button is the Hill Start Assist?
1 Answers
The Hill Start Assist system in a car is typically integrated with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). If the ESP on the vehicle remains enabled, the Hill Start Assist function is also kept on by default. Drivers can also consider the ESP button as the switch for the Hill Start Assist. The Hill Start Assist system, abbreviated as HAC, is a function derived from the ESP system. It allows the vehicle to maintain braking for a few seconds 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 easily move their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, preventing the vehicle from rolling back and causing an accident. Operating Conditions: The gear lever is in any position other than P (for automatic transmission models); the accelerator pedal is not pressed; the vehicle is stationary; the parking brake is not engaged. Under the above basic conditions, when the driver presses the brake pedal further while the vehicle is stopped, the Hill Start Assist control is activated.
