I'm planning on buying a Vauxhall Mokka and I noticed that it has a Hill Start Assist feature. How does it exactly work? Is it something I should pay attention to while driving?
ReplyHi Emily, the Hill Start Assist feature on the Vauxhall Mokka is designed to help you when starting on an incline. It uses the brakes to hold the car stationary for a few seconds, giving you time to switch from the brake to the accelerator without rolling backwards. It's definitely something you should pay attention to while driving, especially if you frequently encounter steep roads.
Hello Emily, the Hill Start Assist feature works by automatically engaging the brakes when you release the brake pedal on an incline. It will hold the brakes for a few seconds, giving you enough time to switch from the brake to the accelerator. This prevents the car from rolling backwards and makes starting on a hill much easier. It's a very helpful feature, especially in busy urban areas with lots of hills.
Hi Emily, the Hill Start Assist feature is very useful when driving on steep inclines. It prevents the car from rolling backwards when you switch from the brake to the accelerator, giving you a smoother start. As a personal tip, remember to release the brake pedal slowly when starting on a hill to allow the system to engage properly.
