System Description
- This function maintains brake fluid pressure so that the vehicle does not move backwards even if brake pedal is released to depress accelerator pedal to start the vehicle while it is stopped on an uphill slope by depressing brake pedal.
- This function operates when the vehicle is in stop status on an uphill slope of slope ratio 10% or more and electric shift selector is in the position other than P or N.
- Hill start assist function is only for the start aid. It maintains the brake fluid pressure for approximately 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal, and then decreases the pressure gradually. If the vehicle can start by the accelerator operation, the brake is released automatically and a smooth start can be performed.
- Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in hill start assist function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, brake assist function, brake force distribution function, and hill start assist function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, brake assist function, brake force distribution function, and hill start assist function. Refer to Fail-Safe .
