Ford Escape: Hill Start Assist
What Is Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist makes it easier for you to pull away when your vehicle is on a slope without using the parking brake.
How Does Hill Start Assist Work
When the system activates, your vehicle remains stationary for a few seconds after you release the brake pedal. This gives you time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. The brakes release when the engine has developed sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope.
Hill Start Assist Precautions
WARNING: The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle, always apply the parking brake.
WARNING: You must remain in your vehicle when the system turns on. At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system turns off if there is a malfunction or if you excessively rev the engine.
