How does Hill Start Assist work on my Ford?

Hill Start Assist automatically activates to help prevent your vehicle from rolling backward when stopped on a hill or slope by maintaining pressure on your brakes. This gives you time to move your foot from the brake to the gas pedal.

• When you take your foot off the brake pedal, your vehicle will stay in place without rolling for about 2 seconds to give you time to drive away. 
• When you press the accelerator, the brakes will automatically release. 

Note: Hill Start Assist also works when your vehicle is in reverse. 

For more information specific to your vehicle, refer to your Owner's Manual.
