Hill Hold Control
Hill Hold Control

Hill starts are not always easy, particularly when the vehicle is heavily loaded. The driver has to operate brake, accelerator and clutch pedals very fast in order to prevent the vehicle from accidentally rolling backwards. The ESC value-added function Hill Hold Control facilitates a hill start by keeping the brakes applied for about two seconds after the driver has released the brake pedal. The driver has enough time for changing from brake to accelerator pedal without using the handbrake. The vehicle drives off comfortably and without rolling backwards.
