Nissan ARIYA 2024 Owners Manual
9.31. Hill Start Assist system
Never rely solely on the Hill Start Assist system to prevent the vehicle from moving backward on a hill. Always drive carefully and attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially careful when stopped on a hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death.
The Hill Start Assist system is not designed to hold the vehicle at a standstill on a hill. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll backwards and may result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The Hill Start Assist system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Failure to do so may result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The Hill Start Assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
The Hill Start Assist system will operate automatically under the following conditions:
The transmission is shifted to a forward or reverse gear.
The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake.
When the system is in operation, the Hill Start Assist system indicator light is illuminated. (See
.)The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and the Hill Start Assist system will stop operating completely.
The Hill Start Assist system will not operate when the transmission is shifted to the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position or on a flat and level road.
When the slip indicator light illuminates in the meter, the Hill Start Assist system will not operate. (See
.)
