Drive-off assistant

When driving off on an incline, a change from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal is required. Here, the drive-off assistant prevents the vehicle from rolling in the following situations:

Here, the brake pressure required to stop the vehicle is maintained. The gradient is picked up by the longitudinal acceleration sensor in the DSC control unit. The necessary braking torque or engine torque is calculated from the gradient. After detection of the wish to drive off, the brake pressure is reduced as soon as the applied engine torque is sufficient to move the vehicle in the desired direction of travel. If the parking brake is operated, the drive-off assistant is disabled. If there is no wish to drive off within approx. 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal, the drive-off assistant is also disabled.
