Hill Launch Assist

How it works

· The sensors in an accelerometer measure the longitudinal incline of the slope. If your car is on an incline that could cause it to roll, Hill Launch Assist automatically activates.

· When you take your foot off the brake to put it on the accelerator, the system holds the brake pressure for up to three seconds to give you time to press the accelerator.

Perfect hill starts every time

Perfect hill starts every time

· Once the engine has enough power to stop the vehicle from rolling, Hill Launch Assist releases the brakes so you can drive away smoothly – with no roll.

· Works whether you’re driving uphill or down, so it’s a great help when you’re parked on an incline.
