X-shift hill start problems.

[TheoNu]

How do you use the hill start assist in an automatic (x-shift) Aygo? 

I’ve had the car a couple of days and cannot get it to hold on an incline, I’m having to use the hand break as though I’m on a really steep hill. 

Thank you

when you come to the top of the hill at a junction, just apply the foot brake and keep it there. When you're ready to move off, remove your foot from the brake and the hill assist comes on there as you move your foot to the accelerator. You'll know its working if you try to put your foot on the brake pedal again afterwards as the brake pedal won't actually work because the hill assist is holding it.

It took me a while to get used to it and trust it, but that's how to make it work essentially.

You need to press the foot break firmly to activate.

...and then it only holds for a few seconds so you need to move your foot switftly from brake to accelerator.

I think this is a duplicate thread to this one below 🙂
