Question regarding Hill-start assist control
I apologize if this in the incorrect section, I had no idea where to post this question.
On the 2017 Toyota 86 it comes with Hill-start assist control which is disabled by default according to the manual. It seems logical to turn it on as it sounds useful, although it mentions to not depend on it with icy roads (common sense). Im not familiar with this feature nor incredibly automotive savy therefore I wonder is this something I want enabled and should I disable during winter months? Thanks for any input Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk |

Agreed with Tcoat.
My 500 Abarth was the first car I owned with hill start, so I tried it. I felt it was harder to drive smoothly on hills with it on than with the system disabled. It holds the brake for you in order to let you get in gear before rolling back, but what that does is it sometimes requires you to give it more throttle than needed to disengage the braking. If you can handle hills without problem with the system off, keep it off.

And giving it more throttle than needed will make you look like a total noob in traffic. Well either that or stalling it.

Great advice so far. Drive your car, learn your car, and you will never need to use hill-assist.
A little trick I used to use back when I was 16 was holding the e-brake up to prevent the car from rolling back and then released it once the clutch engaged.

The only two times I have ever used the ebrake was when coming out of very steep underground parking garage ramps.

Well, I'm from FL, land of the hot and flat lol. We are not used to any kind of hills, generally.
