Towing bracket device
Hill driving assistant*
Oper
ation
This function is only included in vehicles with
ESC.
The hill driving assistant helps the driver t
o
move off and upward on a hill when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
The system maintains brake pressure for ap-
proximately two seconds after the driver
takes his foot off the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from lurching backward when it is
started. During these 2 seconds, the driver
has enough time to release the clutch pedal
and accelerate without the vehicle moving
and without having to use the handbrake,
making start-up easier, more comfortable
and safer.
These are the basic operation conditions:
●
being on a ramp or hill/slope,
●
doors closed,
●
vehicle completely stationary,
●
engine running and foot on the brake,
●
besides having a gear engaged or being in
neutral for manual gear change and with the
sel
ector lever at positions S, D or R in vehicles
with an automatic gearbox.
This system is also active when reversing up-
hill.
WARNING
●
If you do not start the v
ehicle immediate-
ly after taking your foot off the brake pedal,
the vehicle may start to roll back under
certain conditions. Depress the brake ped-
al or use the hand brake immediately.
●
If the engine stalls, depress the brake
pedal or use the hand brake immediately.
●
When following a line of traffic uphill, if
you want to prevent the vehicle from rolling
back accidentally when starting off, hold
the brake pedal down for a few seconds
before starting off.
Note
The Official Service or a specialist work-
shop can tell you if your vehicl
e is equip-
ped with this system.
