To aid starting on a gradient, your
vehicle is equipped with a system
which keeps it temporarily immo-
bilised.
It keeps the brakes applied for a
brief moment, precisely the time
taken for moving your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active
when the vehicle has been com-
pletely stationary, with your foot
on the brake pedal, in particular
conditions on a slope.
Note :
The hill start assist function can-
not be deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a brief moment when
you release the brake pedal,
provided you are in A or M.
On a descending slope, pro-
vided the vehicle is stationary
and reverse gear is engaged,
the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the
brake pedal.
Display of these warning lamps
indicates a malfunctioning of the
hill start assist function.
Warning : do not exit the vehicle during the hill start assist phase.
