Drive-Off Assistant

Drive-Off Assistant

The Drive-Off Assistant assists the driver when driving off on hills with a gradient exceeding approx. 5%. If the vehicle is stopped on an uphill gradient, the driver applies the brake and sets a certain brake pressure. When the driver now switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal in order to drive off, the set brake pressure is maintained until the vehicle drives off. This prevents the vehicle from rolling back while the driver is switching pedals. The maximum time for rollback prevention is two seconds.
