Just wanted to share my experience with the Hill Start function on my MC Titanium hatch auto and to hear from others if this is typical.
The Hill Start function reliably engages when I stop on a suitably steep incline. I get the Dashboard warning telling me Hill Start is active with an "OK" screen button highlighted. The problem is, if I a) take my foot off the brake pedal, Hill Start immediately deactivates or b) if I press the "OK" button on the steering wheel, Hill Start deactivates (regardless of the brake pedal status). For starters . . . and if I understand the owners manual correctly, if I remove my foot from the brake pedal once Hill Start has (auto) engaged, the vehicle should hold steady until I depress the accelerator and there is sufficient engine torque to move the vehicle forward. I would be interested to hear your experiences or your take on this. |
